Harsh critique is OK. Just maybe try not to sound so angry. Watch the others, see how they throw a little acerbic humor in to sweeten the sour a bit. Nobody in their twenties should be so angry about fluoro colors. That right is reserved exclusively for those of us who were actually around in the 80s. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

If you were actually around in the 80s though, wouldn't you understand better than me why fluoro absolutely positively sucks? It's right up there with splash bar tape. Why would anyone spend a couple of grand on an otherwise nice bike and screw it up with those colors?
I don't know, I wasn't trying to sound angry, really! In fact, the guy whose bike my original comment was for probably doesn't care as much as anyone else who has posted after.

But ohmygod it is ugly. I went with light blue instead. Not hot, but looks good w/the titanium frame, and most importantly it ain't yellow.

This makes me laugh because I was considering yellow & black splash bar tape - as that'd be "period-correct" - for a 1997 Litespeed Catalyst.

A guy on my team is in his early 20s and has a flouro yellow Giant, this exact bike-

Should we kick him off the team?

Is it glossy? I think that the one I'm looking at is matte, but there doesn't seem to be one on a sales floor within 300 miles. I'd be better with gloss, but whatever.

I thought this was Hot or Not, not "what ugly Giant is this?"
Can someone do something about providing more hot and less Giant?

Reason I own the S Works is because they look so good (to me) and i find them very sexy. The TCR frame is probably better than the tarmac but I still love my tarmac.
