Hot r 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 like it ... and it is fine to post in here. There were no rules for minimum bike price, last time I checked.

I like it, but it doesn't rate a hot, sorry. But it's a nice bike. It has a great personality, I'm sure!

Nothing wrong with your rig. The red and black paint schemes go well together and their are plenty of more expensive bikes that have been posted here that are hideous. I give it a hot.

I haven't been around long enough to be a "41er".


Plus I don't own a bike hot enough to be in this thread...

& I ride my bikes too much to stop to take pics of them.

Almost hot. The saddle height and position looks weird to me.

Only way to make it hotter would be to turn it around, & put in in front of a garage door.
Don't forget to put it in the large ring.
