I would vote you remove decals from the wheels but otherwise HOT (I am always a fan of a level stem with no spacers above, spacers below is just a fitting thing)

The bar angle on that look is wack

Hmm, this is way under budget:

Does a cyclocross commuter bike count? Below is my Cannondale CAADX Tiagra workhorse.
http://i.imgur.com/jXk17.jpg I use the bike mostly for commuting on the road but I do occasionally ride it on the trails: http://i.imgur.com/ytByA.jpg A short video of the CAADX in commuter mode: http://www.youtube.com/v/2qe3CeIqSXs?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1 |

Agreement on the Allez getting a HOT, I especially think the way the Stem, handlebar tops and TT are all parrallel gives it a certain "Flow"
eippo's Naked frame there I believe also warrants a HOT if only for the amazing posing in that pic. cyclocommuter: Neither of those shots give a good view of the bike. The Light set-up definitely appeals to my techy side. I have to give it a NOT though, definitely gets more of a COOL, or RUGGED from me but I don't see the HOT (Would probably require fender and rack removal) |

Will post better pic when I get my wheels back. Not really "hot", but I like it! Just need some white bar tape. And bottle holders. |

The Rossetti is hot as is the Look. I loved following both those threads. fishy, that CAAD will look great with white bartape. I love white bikes (I just don't like cleaning them.)
|
I Vote NOT
Triple, needs darker Crankset, stem has too many degrees (Once again I vote for a flat stem and more spacers rather then less spacers and a high degree stem.) |

http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/a...ckson/Ros1.jpg This one however, best of the thread thus far. Love small diameter carbon tubes :love: http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/...nw1/file-5.jpg But, if it rides great it rides great, great. And aesthetics are personal anyways. |

Klein all cabled up, still playing with bar rotation and shifter position before bar tape. Wheels next week.
I got black Fizik but what does everyone think of white, silver, or soft silver? So, if you imagine it with a set of silver Ksyirum Elites on it, whatcha think? http://home.comcast.net/~khatfull/im.../almost2sm.jpg |

Well, I went with the Fizik silver. Got my Edge 305 mounted and my BDopCycling light mount on as well (I use it for a 900 lumen SSC flashlight when starting early or coming home late). Need a frontal shot to show that.

I think it will look good with the new wheels and black cages.
I think the black would be too "top heavy" if you had black tape and silver wheels. |

Okay I know it's not a regulation pic, but I was having a bit of a giggle riding in the snow and wanted to get a shot cuz the background seemed so pretty. This is my commuter. |
[QUOTE=Commodus;13750037]Agreed on both counts. The Rosetti frame looks like a Countach and a Testarossa got drunk and hooked up...uh, and somehow spawned a bike frame. Score one for CAD software!
But, if it rides great it rides great, great. And aesthetics are personal anyways.[/] Is that a bad thing? Probably exactly what the designers had in mind. |

Well, I wrapped it in the old white tape that came off the bike when I bought it...white was just too much. Black was easy to see unwrapped . As thirdgenbird indicated it was a lot of black "up top". I bought the Fizik soft silver and the silver, lightly wrapped one side with each...soft silver is going back...it wasn't different enough from black. A light gray would have worked but this just does something interesting and I think it will work even better with the silver Ksyriums.
Yeah, I bought Elite Patao cages in white and they aren't working, damnit. Black might work...oh, know what, I have some cheap generic black cages, I'll throw them on and see what it looks like. Thanks! |
