Well, seems like this thread has certainly lost its purpose a couple of dozen pages ago. It went from what the title says to "post any bike".

i think if it doesn't have race wheels it shouldn't be in here...cause let's face it, with the exception of a few sweet vintage bikes if it's not racing it's not hot.

I was expecting abuse just for putting a Scattante in this thread, but in looking at the bikes that are indeed hot, I think the geometry is a bit open in the front on mine (more rake or just because it's a 61?). I like the racy look of the CAAD 9 and the Soul. The Scott.. not so much.

I don't think a bike has to be a race bike to be hot, but I do think that bikes without something that resembles a race fit look pretty wonky.

Anyway, I figure I may as well post this. It's not my race bike, but I still think it's pretty sweet. I may swap the stem with something that matches the aesthetic, and the stock saddle will soon be replaced with an Arione (the same saddle on my other two rides).

This is what the Mutant looks like and I have seen them for 1 1/8 steerers as well.

Here's my Waterford 2200 ... decked out in a custom Waterford maize and blue repaint.
Edit: How do I post pics so they are larger in the actual thread vs. having to open a thumbnail?

How to turn a single speed commuter into a track bike. (really... I have a velodrome local.)
Now I wonder where my pictures of the bike with the new saddle are...
Be honest :-) I take enough heat for having sora shifters on a $1000 frame.
Now I realise I really need to get updated pictures of my rides. Even my beater is "dated" as it's got a new stem on it.
Methinks I need to fix these pictures problems soon. Perhaps Friday.
Edit: The artifacting is driving me crazy. Just click the pictures to see the good stuff.
