A friend's new ride
No, the bars aren't angled up.

This is the "Hot r Not" thread, not the "Pimp My Bike" thread. Yours is a very nice bike, but it's not hot, and I'm afraid there aren't any upgrades that will ever make it so. You might play around with the colors a bit (celeste sidewall tires and high-profile rim logos?) and that might make it hotter, but for the most part those won't be upgrades.

Why are you posting your friend's bikes? They aren't all that hot. A little unusual, and not bad, but nothing to write home about, as they say. I thought we were only supposed to post our own bikes. Was I mistaken? I've seen some amazingly hot bikes that I would have snapped and shared here if I'd known.

Should I? Whatever it was, it must be going around, because I was wondering what had gotten into some other folks to make them so cranky today...!

If I recall correctly you got roasted because of bizarre seat and bar angles that help you go super fast or something...And then didnt handle it in what would be considered a graceful manner lol. Maybe that was someone else, I cant remember. Its cool man, we all make mistakes. For instance I posted a gravel bike here and got destroyed, but I will be back!
That Giant on the other hand is set up perfectly.

Dont know what you are talking about though.
Stupid Google links though and stupid forum email notifications also seem to start and stop randomly.
At least they have fixed the ability to upload pics direct to the forum.
And maybe you need a sense of humour injection. I was teasing the Giant dude (because that is what this whole thread is about).

I tried to remember all the rules - don't roast me too bad if I forgot one (maybe the seat bag still on is a no no)?

How do you like that Silca roll? How long have you had it?

I really like that silica roll. I was hesitant to get one, but to the point above - my thighs where hitting my standard seat bag so I had to go with it. I’m hindsight I wish I had made the change sooner. It’s definetly easier to take on and off for races and much easier to get back on in the same spot as before. Plus it holds everything I need.

Cool. I get some thigh rub with bags that wrap around the post, hence my interest. No concerns about it staying on securely? I've seen a couple reports of random drops, but it's hard to say who's guilty of good old user error (and I can't say that I've had any problems with Boas on my shoes).

That BMC is hot, but minus 100 points for allowing your shadow in the picture, ugh!
