got the climbing bug
Love the lugged carbon frames but back ground is way to busy to show off the details of the frameset and blue tires gets a no from me.
White back drop and no bottles/saddle bag. That metallic blue paint might pop better

gurk700,
Your murdered out S-Works is 10 out of 10, molten lava hot, as good as it gets. Kudos.

New gravel bike, pulling double duty with a set of wheels with road tires. 
(yes, forgot to take the bottles/repair kit out lol)
Not the best backdrop, but here she is with her road shoes:
Love this orange!!

That giant revolt sure looks like a giant defy with more wheel clearance. I doubt there would be a difference in performance on the road from your standard giant defy to this gravel bike if both used identical tires. Guess the question is why buy a giant defy over the revolt?

I set it up with Ene Ciclo 11 spd DT shifters for that vintage look and feel and these work great_ as a matter of fact I have them on another steel frame. Still need to replace the hoods for the correct ones, these will do until the post office gets around delivering...

I'll throw my latest in here even though I already know it's hot. 
New to me Luciano Paletti built up with a nice Chorus 9 speed. Still searching for the perfect silver tubular setup for this.

I know that vintage stuff can be a bit controversial in here, but I'm really happy with this build right now. So have at it:

(totally agree btw
I love their gold outline black logo on disc tarmacs. Got a stupid deal on this "ultralight" model though)

Other than the Schwinn (sorry), I’ll give all the last few bikes a super hot in their own ways. The Holdworth is unbelievable but of course I’m a fan of proper looking colorful bikes with great component selection.
the Cannondale and Specialized are certainly hot as they almost always are when set up nicely and stealth like.
With stunning brazing like that, how could the Paletti not be hot. Granted, the set up could be done to make it more “today Hot” but that is one incredibly beautiful frameset!
I’m not a huge fan of the looks on the new Giants but love the orange and I know from past trials that they ride like a dream.
enjoy your bikes folks and ride safe!

By the way, on the Paletti, I know that the inclination is to keep it traditional looking… But put some mid depth Carbon wheels on that bad boy and a nicer headset you would be rockin the hot even more!
