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 agree The bike came with Easton Ea 90 SL with a 19.5 internal width and only 1490 grams for the set. Carbon wheels will be a future upgrade.

Tested this prototype today. Now seriously considering making it my N+1 considering it's a one of one.

Hot or Not?

Updated the brakes and will be fitting on a new saddle in time to come.

Still waiting for a longer stem though.

If you post your bike in this thread looking for other people to appreciate it the way you do, you're going to have a bad time.

Most (not all) people who frequent this thread will judge your photo, and bike setup, not your bike.

If you are wondering on what criteria some of these critics speak of, there is (in my personal opinion) a ridiculous and unrealistic list of them here: Velominati ? The Rules

p.s. I fully anticipate receiving hate mail for this post.

It's your bike (I assume) if you like it, that's all that matters.

Lol dont let it discourage you. One persons poo-poo platter is another mans gold. This thread is all about OPINIONS. I would say your bike may not get the attention you may be looking for because it is pretty loud with a lot of branding and such. Artistically speaking, its kind of hard for the eye to take in as a whole because you get lost in looking here and here and here then there. The angle in which you have taken the photo doesn't seem to help in my opinion. Probably doesn't do the bike justice. Always hard to hear someone not like something you yourself find to be very appealing. Brush yo shoulda off and move on.

Dont get to caught up in this thread or forum for that matter.

Like to stretch out your chain/derailleur unnecessarily?? Avoid that big-big chainring/sprocket combo..

White tape/saddle combo is nice, but at least clean it before you take a pic.

Checkered fork is out of place.. polka dots would have been nicer... or you can just match the bar tape with checkered pattern.

Line up that drive side crankarm along the seattube or chainstay.. out of alignment crankarm doesn't make good pic.
