Getting closer to TRE< one ride after another. On that picture it was looking a lot like TREj<

I wish the bottom of my bars were more horizontal. would look a lot better IMHO.
(Yes the bench is at the end of a dock in the middle of the St-Lawrence river near St-Luce beach in Québec.)

It's a dented up beater bike( stolen once and recovered), made to ride in bad weather and put together with whatever parts were left over...Don't hurt it's feelings...besides, I've seen your good bikes and my beater can beat up your best..

I just don't get how people think this one is hot, no offense to whoever's bike it is. Way to cluttered looking for my tastes, and just looks way out of proportion and poorly fitted. Nothing classic about it, already looks dated.

This one however, best of the thread thus far. Love small diameter carbon tubes

A small diameter carbon tube bike doesn't look dated? The Rossetti has a few spacers under the stem, but it all appears to be well proportioned, meanwhile the look has what appears to be a tiny 80 or 90mm stem. If I had to pick one of those two bikes to be poorly proportioned, it would be the Look with the tiny stem. If I had to pick one of those bikes to look dated, again it would be the Look. Either way, I think both are hot.

What do you think about this?
I think I spent about $1100 on everything. Shimano 105 5700, Mavic Ksyrium SL. Still need a bike fitting and a different cassette. Gonna look for some bb30 compatible cranks or some SRAM Force cranks.

Here's my bike
~$2500 (includes garmin 500 I just bought). Looking to cut the stem next weekend, might lower the stem a bit more.

Well The frame is basically this under the brand Champ Sys. This frame is from team Mengoni and bought it off the rider Dan Chabanov. Other than that I dont know anymore about the frame besides it was ridden for a season
