Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I thought mods banned trolls?
I've seen guys like him come and go. They usually have a finite lifespan before they do something to get themselves banned.

If I found one for a steal I'd buy one, but for what they typically go for there are just a lot of other competent options for a better price.

It's not a road bike, but its a cycle I use on the road & gravel & anywhere theres a "No tresspassing" sign cause thats where the fun is. (old pic). seriously though, i came to ogle pics & look for ideas for a future road bike build but it seems theres more talkin than colnago pics in here.


(where we go on dates)

*WARNING!!! Do not attempt unless you have a Titanium Taint.

So according to most of the people in this thread, basically unless it's a high end modern road bike that's fitted perfectly and the pics are skillfully taken with a DLSR the bike is, in fact, not hot.

That pretty much sums it up. It's not look at the bike I just got.

It is "here is my bike. Is it hot or not?" Or atleast that is what the OP said:

yup. This thread got spoiled early on because some people posted some super hot bikes and set the bar high early. But yeah, it's post whatever you have. Just be prepared for a NOT and have a thick skin. This thread was just meant to be fun - think sometimes people take it too seriously.

As it were, it seems everyone's opinion in the 41 seems to be as serious as death and taxes.
