Hor 'r not?

My first real bicycle. Bought it July 23rd 2012 the day right after I lost my license. That picture is of the day I bought it.

Oversized luggage, "sit up and beg" stem and spacers, chain in recovery ring, red cable housing, red tires, reflectors...all very pro. Was this from a pro-peloton member's personal collection?

Serious Not for me and I love Felts. Blurry photo, poorly staged, saddle pointing up, don't see how in the world this would get a Hot from anyone in here. Stage it properly(read page 1), take a decent photo and resubmit.

Nope. Not even by 2012 standards.

You guys are mean...

Hot or not?

One of three (or four) is okay. Welcome to the newer, meaner HrN.

RPK79 05-16-14 12:15 PM

The Roubaix is almost there. I'd lose the red hoods, bottle cage, and tires. Maybe move the shifters down a hair.

Young Version 05-16-14 12:16 PM

In order: Not, not, not.

Fix the bar angle on the first two and they'd be hot. To make the last one hot, replace it with another, more attractive bicycle.

lsberrios1 05-16-14 12:18 PM

Oh my... I can't believe I am actually offended. I guess this is where the hairy cyclist hang.

Bars need to be tilted down.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-b...o/IMG_2694.JPG

Bars really need to be tilted down.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g...o/IMG_2651.JPG

Bar tape needs to be red, hoods black


That's my opinion. The steel framed bikes could be really hot, especially the Lotus...but those bars, man.

dtrain 05-16-14 12:21 PM

What's on your front tire (the red one)?

I like to pretend they are bull horns so I can poke other cyclist with the brake levers.

I understand the white saddle and bars, sort of, but if you're going the blacked out theme, (wheels, cages, Quarq) go with black brakes and derailleur, as well. Sort of hot.

I'd have to assume it was a leaf of some sort. I think these pics are from last fall.

Well that's fail right there. Come on...;)

LAJ 05-16-14 12:26 PM

I'm ok with the mismatched cages, but the red hoods are way too much. The Lotus has funky bar positioning. The Felt makes my eyes bleed. 3 of 4 are at minimum, rather hot.

RPK79 05-16-14 12:27 PM

Best just throw them all out and start over.

These are all hot. But I don't like the bar position on the Lotus.
