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

Much improved. Sarcasm is often lost in translation, but I'll have to say that your bike love is stepping up. You knew the Felt wasn't anywhere near hot, just stirring the pot… lol. Ok, as to this Roubaix, if you changed the hoods (they don't look like they match and it's just trying way too hard) to black, you've got my HOT vote, as I know you need it in order to sleep soundly. So you better hurry...

The Panasonic is my favorite of the three, but I'd love to see it outside (or see it color-corrected for the lights inside).

Do you pop both collars when riding this one?

You cannot be serious with the bars rotated like that.

Just get a Rivendell already.

Since my bike and Bianchi10's subsequent post catalyzed the start of this thread, I figured I should post it here. Can I get a new participation medal though?

Hot, even accounting for the Bianchi Belly down tube.

+1. That downtube looks like Dali's melting clocks.

An update to the staging rules is needed:

Avoid the massive shadows on the garage door caused by the 4 o'clock sun. It defeats the purpose of the neutral background.

I like it. Hot.

I'm not sold on the yellow chain catcher and the cable housing going to the right side of the downtube looks a little short.

There is way too much Red/Black/White in this thread!

I can help fix that:

I'm not sold on the gold chain catcher either, but I got it for free on the Pay it Forward thread, so I'm not complaining.
Re: the cable housing, its just the angle of the picture.

Not hot. I mean, it's even snowing.

Not a fan of the flacid downtube, especially on a little bike.
