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

Just quoting so this bike can live on this page too That frame is amazing, you could just hang it on a wall.

I like the blue-accented Orca and old Trek above, too- everything flows so nicely on both, even if the Trek is a bit dated.

I know I've completely ignored the rules, I was too excited when taking pictures.

I'm actually selling it, but in place of the racing wheels and the saddle, it will come with standard training wheels and a stock saddle. 3000 miles. Just finished washing it, going to put it up on CL in the houston area soon.

it's a good bike, long stiff head tube, more relaxed geometry compared to other race bikes, and good for climbing and endurance type events.

Haven't you kept up?

We're not allowed to judge on such things any more.

Nor, details like colour coordination, bar or stem angles, frame colour, tire mismatching, never mind alignment of labels with valve stems, number of spacers, material from which either the frame or wheels are made from, the realative position of the saddle to bars or any other aspects that might lead us to believe a bike is "hot" or "not" for our personal taste.

And, whatever you do, if you find it neccessary to declare a bike as "not", for the love of god, don't tell the post why.

These are "the new rules" of Bikeforum's Hot or Not.

Have I missed any?

You've said too much as it is...

"Hot or Not" is all you are able to say in this thread...

Quoting the guy that posted the evo and the caad black.

From these two i'll take the one built to race. While the flashy one is nice, i would never get something like it.

Those are comparing apples and oranges though. Thats like comparing an F-14 fighter jet and an Alaskan 757 airliner. They were made for different purposes.

I'd take the Aventedor over the r-18 if for no reason other than I could actually drive the Aventedor.
