You might be on to something. I originally chose the tape because I thought the bike could use some brightening up. But now the silver bottle kind of serves that purpose so a more subdued tape might be in order. Maybe I'll give dark blue a try!

This bike screams classy and, at least to my eye, the dark blue will serve that purpose. WRT cobrabyte's comment on the water bottle, I tend not to put cages on bikes that don't have bosses, but am pretty agnostic when it comes to bikes that belong to others.

You gonna eat that?
My own entry. It is a combination of as-found patina and replacement components as close to the originals as possible: My 1966 Raleigh DL-1 Tourist

Nice but I think white bar tape would be nice. A little ammonium will clean up those white hoods really well too.
Here is my De Rosa Nuovo Classico built up with (gasp!) Ultegra, hit me with your best shot

Can Mountain bikes play too?
Me too (I've owned and raced 4), but the Graftek was made by Aegis in Maine (who also made some of Trek's early carbon frames https://aegisbicycles.com/about.html ).

OK, I'll dip a toe in the water here, but I'm also going to put on my asbestos suit!

I'm going hot on this one...it's a Bianchi that looks like a Tomassini. I especially like the stem.

Thanks, Aaron. The stem is an old 3ttt from when the logo just said "ttt." Same for the bars.

The problem with Hot or Not C&V is that most people here in the C&V forum have lots of stunning bikes--versus the 41 where folks are more likely to have one or two ugly bikes. Browsing the other Hot or Not thread, I grow tired of seeing so many variations red/white/black carbon bikes with too many graphics.
