Budget Hot or Not....

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I also like the subtlety of the color of VwFix's bike. hard to do red with taste.
Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

That GT is still not hot, but holy hell it is a lot better than it was. The wheels look great on there. For the money spent, you did well.

Yeah, big improvement. Did the paintjob justice.

Would look totally badass slammed with a 17 degree stem.

Upgraded the bars/stem/seat/wheels, getting ready to do a new crank to make it full Ultegra (r8000). 16.5lbs, everything purchased new, still under $2k.
