Hot, Not a fan of the blue tape though. It’s distracting IMO. Also, why are the rear and front calipers different?

Slicker post, slam and trim the front, and some of those new levers with the pistons where they belong, and that thing would be totally banging.

That is a well-built, high-quality, high-performance road machine, with all its parts in the right places. I understand why people think it's hot. Unfortunately, I find it kind of dull and uninspiring. I've never been one for the "stealth" look. Maybe a different background would change my mind.

This bike might have a decent hot score for an older machine, if it was staged well.

Well I still have my very first pair of Mavic Cosmic Expert which I bought back in 1997 and used in road bike racing competitions as well as a very first generation Mavic Cosmic Carbone from 1999 purchased two years ago, they are reliable and fast wheels. All the bike projects that go through my bike tech are always well staged. I need to buy a pair of look yellow pp396 pedals to finalize completely.Since 2008 Mavic Cosmic Carbone are made in Romania and the Carbon texture of the wheel has changed too, not the same quality than the ones made in France back then.

New Pirelli tires on my road machine. I think I prefer the look of the light tan sidewalls of the previous Vittorias, but these look okay.
