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).

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.

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