I experience the same kind of pleasure with my Lynskey Backroad. Although it is truly ugly. The bike fits so well it's like an extension of my body. It almost disappears beneath me. While it's not...

The whole "blacked out" thing is way overdone. It can look good, but it rarely looks exceptional. Just too common.

Hot! Great employment of silver components. A silver crank may bump up the hot factor, but I'd have to see it to compare. Great work.

Hot. To my eye really large and really small frames aren't as pleasing. I think if that frame were a few CM smaller it would make the Hot r Not top 10 all time. As it is, it is seriously hot. ...

Nope. Gumwalls don't belong on high end modern carbon bikes. In fact it is exceedingly rare that gumwalls contribute to the hot factor.

The colors on this bike are nice, but the tube shape is an absolute no-go. Especially the spindly looking seat stays.

Yeah, that color scheme has been run into the ground. I'd like to see some good ole red, white and blue offerings. I really do like the introduction of blue into that scheme.

Yes, absolutely. I kinda agree about the red bits, but at the same time they say I'm hot and DGAF if I match or not. That bike gets a double take when it passes me!
