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
My winter beater CAAD10, promoted to general use since my normal race bike is out of action due to crash damage. I actually think it looks decent.
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!
I don't look at that and think "hot." I look at it and think "cool." The cool factor is off the charts. I am not sure I can quantify the difference between hot and cool, but please trust that I just complimented your bike.
Went with rim brakes and QR wheels on this 2019 retro frame. Had the current Tarmac Pro for a year and found it less than exciting, both in looks and ride. This is still too new to me judge but so far so good. Reusing old parts until Di2 funds are available, hence the oddball DA/Campy mix.
We need to have a talk here about how we should frame your apology to Allied. If you insist on going with a tired black and red paint scheme you do not add further insult with unsightly gumwalls. Gumwalls belong on modern carbon frames like moon hubcaps belong on a 2020 Corvette. Then the background. Really? You don't have a shower curtain or anything you can lean the bike up against to enhance the appeal? What the heck is going on with that stem cap? Does it double as a cup for the Pabst draft after the ride. Allied winced when they saw this.

nothing would look hot with those swayback seatpost, also what happened to the chain?
