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

Actually, this picture has been posted on this thread before. I was kind of bored this morning so I thought I'd pesker the Hot or Not people for a while.
You have to understand that this thread judges on a very narrow view of what is hot, anything deviating from that is just for fun.

Check The Velominati rules on orienting the brake disc vanes correctly.

And now that you have made your statement, please move on and leave things to the big boys.
Weird, I thought this thread was "Hot r Not" not, "Let's get bent out of shape if it's not hot"

In other news, successful troll is successful

Well, it is Friday afternoon. I'm bored and hungover in the office and really want to lay down now. So here's a pic of my bike. I know its a bit over geared, and there's a bag and water bottles, but whatever.
Also there's no garage door, because this is Hong Kong and only billionaires have garages.

Not quite hot, but totally respectable. I really like the graphics.

Move the bike four feet forward so the distracting post and the skyscrapers in the background don't interfere with the bike part of the image.

Otherwise ... I'd ride it. Looks great.

Likely sooner than later-- the routine of cleaning it with Westley's Bleche-Wite after every ride is not exactly something I look forward to. White bar tape = zero to filthy in about 10 minutes.

Yeah, you should have gone with a gumwall seat and stem, just to continue the theme.

It's not murdered out with gum walls and it's not a penny farthing.

NOT HOT.
