Humor us and lay out the build. Plz?

Here's mine with some new bullhorns I got recently. From one day of riding with them I have to say I like.

So what don't you like? ahhh!

cc700

the logos on the saddle and stem are pretty gawdy. i understand on a racing bike but on your around town bike it's a lot of advertising.

that and the silver post. then again, i know how hard it is to find black 26.8 posts.

Syncmaster

Eh, the Regal saddle is cheaper with the logos all over it... I know it's not as pretty as all white but oh well. Just think of it this way, if I had only given you a profile shot from the side you would have hardly noticed haha.

also I don't mind the silver seatpost, it matches the spokes...

I did look to your TT for inspiration in my build though. Yours is beautiful.

cc700

thanks. this thread is ridiculous because it's asking for what people don't like... honestly i think the bike is great cept for those few things.

a silver stem might tie the spokes and hubs to the bars... but then the pake cranks would be left out to dry. i think black bikes are very hard to do nicely.

cc700

bullhorns, time trial bars, whatever. they're the same thing. or can you not see the pictures?

Syncmaster

Thanks. Yeah I'm quite fond of my bike as it is. I built it and I can call it my own :-) and I'll be having fun riding it as much as possible. which is what I think counts.

Your VW is only a golf...

Don't worry, your saddle is going to be mostly blue in a few weeks.

This isn't a don't like but more of a suggestion. If your going to have a knog I like to see them flipped to the left side since bike lanes are on the right and it presents more visibility for cars to your left. Other than than, line your tire label with your valve stem in the front, and if you really want me to be picky go either black or silver components, I'd say go black seatpost. But overal a well done build, just being nit-picky because that's the thread.

The saddle? Yup, sure is. I'd actually purchased it for my bike, but it worked with my son's so well I couldn't help but put in on the Bianchi.

I only wear cycling shorts and jersey's. Always. even to bed.

I like the bike minus the seat.

The engine in your car is originally designed for a tractor.

cc700

it's not a gti with golf taillamps and painted bumper guards?

and what, the tdi engine was designed for a tractor?


that's a damn nice work stand.

Why do people hate logo's so much. I mean, if I ride a san marco saddle and I like, why wouldn't I want people to know. I understand not wanting something to be plastered with em, like all the L00K bikes or the older Leader frames, but I not only don't have a problem with a few well placed logos, but I think they can actually look good.

Besides the rat traps=)

agree w/ the black seatpost and seat to balance it out...with some black cages and straps of course...i would rid myself of the gold crankset, its a different color than the v's...that said i'd rid myself of the V's too, the parts are nice, its the gaudy color that kills it for me

ridiculous wheelbase, rusty (or is it red?) chain, flop and chops.

Cinelli right?
