This guy is legitimately butthurt about the other guy being butthurt about black bikes

That seatpost looks much better without the branding. Did the hollow part help at all over rough pavement?

SirHustlerEsq

Not really, the Cannondale post is a bit more comfy. I also had crazy corrosion with that Al post.

^ This guy is literally butthurt that about a guy calling someone butthurt about black bikes.

You need to give me some of your money.

He may not have any left....

Melanophobia perhaps?

Not.

2 more generic, off-the-rack bikes that anyone can grab from their LBS. Not a lot of personalization. They just look cheap, TBH.

SpeshulEd 

While, I agree about the personalization, I don't think there's much more to update them on them. Still, a small splash of color anywhere would be an added bonus. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say the chainring on the C60 isn't as nice as some of the other campy options, but whatever.

That repainted Evo looks fantastic. There's part of me that would like a new bike and the other part of me still likes my Evo...maybe I should have it repainted...

Dan333SP

Right. Both just scream "my first road bike!!" without any thought to quality, longevity, or style. They also look heavy... 25+ lbs?

SirHustlerEsq

Thanks. I plan to keep this bicycle a decade, then it goes on the wall. The paint already has a ton of chips and **** from using it, but it's all one color and there is lots of paint left over so it's easy to touch up. I can race the thing with more confidence now because I'm not so worried about doing repairs on it and then matching paint, and it's super unique.

I say paint it, get away from the rolling bill-boards. PM me if you need the graphics files.

Your sarcasm (I hope it's sarcasm) isn't translating well over the internet.

If there was a Hot R Not thread in the recumbent forum, would it be considered rude to post a pic of this (please note it's all BLACK too and not anywhere close to a rolling billboard)...

no white garage door but the green wrist band gives a nice splash of color.

@SirHustlerEsq how do you like that wheelset? that whole setup looks wonderful.

LGHT

Agree should have spent the money on a paint job

growlerdinky

Another rube falling for the same bland matte black paint scheme. What a total loser.

SpeshulEd 

lol, I was starting to wonder if we were looking at the same bikes. I'm like, I've read your posts before and you seem coherent, maybe he's seeing something I'm not.

I absolutely love it. I have a feeling I'll be keeping my EVO for years to come as well, however, I'd still like a new bike again at some point.

I even know a guy that paints carbon bikes (among other things)...so tempting.

SirHustlerEsq

My only regret is not getting the 52s. When I bought them, I didn't race bikes and planned on just riding them all the time. They are significantly faster than my training wheels (T-11/CX-Ray/SL-23), would buy again.

No carbon specific blue color brake pads for those Rails?

Slick looking Ritchey. Love the gumwalls.

The cx is ok but I really dislike the red inner chainring. Also dislike.any front fork that has a bend that bends that direction. They tend to look like they are on backwards to me.

SpeshulEd 

I believe the only brand of blue brake pads are Reynolds, you can get other carbon specific pads that are gray/black. I'm guessing that's whats happening here.

Unless you're saying he should have blue to match the bike.
