Get a different bike, put it outside in the shade under different lighting, stage it correctly and it might be HOT!

So, I got one of them cleaned up and ready to go, and here it is under flat lighting.

The left shifter looks like it is lower than the right one. On purpose?

That's a hot from me, and I'm no big Specialized fan. It's the matching job that's the winner here, without making it look overly matching.

C'mon, if you feel the need for that, why not put a blinking tail light on it - one that is sleek. I don't hardly know what to say; I've never viewed a bike with so much potential be so absolutely awful but those wheels are hideous in their current iteration.

Nice bike. I don't rank it a HOT, bc all time trial bikes are a little weird looking to me, but very nice bike!

No, not on purpose, but you made me look. It wasn't discernible to me, but then again I have terrible astigmatism....

'new and improved hot r not thread'?

Often imitated. Never replicated.

Not hot. ;)

Tape measure helps a lot when trying to set them up even. But these look quite uneven to the naked eye too, at least in this particular photo. Could be just a trick of perspective though.

Thanks. Good question. Its whatever mood strikes me. Although right now the Colnago is set up with 52/36 and the Parlee with 50/34, so the type of ride plays a minor part.

Those the wheels that came on the bike when i ordered it from the factory as a P1 Bike from trek several years ago.

I'll give it a Hot. Simple yet elegant. Like the Sandra Bullock of Beauty. Some find her incredibly attractive, while others are attracted to more "Pizzazz". We all get attracted to big and bold, but sometimes its nice to peal back all the "Unnecessary" things that traditionally make a bike stand out from the norm.

My only personal choice would be to change out the seat post. Only because that seatpost has never been pleasing to me aesthetically.
