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

Nope, on purpose. I made sure to change enough to be different but I love their designs and colors. I just couldn't drop 2,700 on a frame at the moment so I did the next best thing.

Too late.

He traded in his pink gilet for some other color as well and is now just a shadow of his former glory.

Custom golf clubs and a minivan can't be far behind.

Very nice, I remember seeing where you had just painted. Bottles match the paint so they do not distract even though against the rules. DYI HOT

A perfect example of why "The rules" are dumb.

Yep, the thing is baddass. Makes me want a Giant now. I thought it was custom painted but apparently he ordered it like this.

I'm seriously considering a TCR and getting it custom painted a darker maroon/purple with glittery pink Giant logos.

Not my bike, so I could care less, but why is the color terrible? Everyone *****es about black bikes, so why the hate on dark blue and hi vis.

You probably ride a red bike, don't you?

Maybe it looks better when it's not in a coffee shop.

I don't think it's hot, but I think the colors are fine. This design is so simple and striking, just about any color combo would work.

Simple lines, straight blade fork tapers nicely, rim height roughly proportional to frame tube thickness, stucco walls, stainless garbage can and stool, oversize dream catcher wall art...

Pretty hot.

Yellow stripe on the chain stay is a nice touch. I want that floor.

Haha, the dream catcher is actually a bike wheel.

This is inside Bicycle Nomad Cafe (The Velo Bike Shop). Best coffee in Phoenix (best bike shop too!) The owner of the cafe is super cool and does a ton of bike camping/touring adventures.

I'm still not a big fan of it. Don't care for the colors but I have just never been drawn to blue bikes much. I'm sure it's a bad ass bike though because I wouldn't expect anything less from John.

I can't believe I'm gonna leave a paper trail of this, but I actually REALLY like the new Trek project 9 (GASP!!!!!).

I think the TREK is hot, but a lower profile wheelset would set it off better.

Well, if they intended to make it look like an old Volvo (to go with their mom jeans), they succeeded brilliantly.
Seriously, though, it's very well-executed and consistent, but the apparent goal and solid result are just sort of comical to me.
