Of all the bikes I've painted, I've always liked this paint job the best.
All it needs now is a wheel upgrade.
And my favorite MTB.

Not sure how it compares to some of the hotter bikes here but I would not trade my carbon lugged Serotta for any other bike I have yet seen on here....

Hey EDR, do you really think my bike is a 'clown bike' even if it hurts my feelings? Because your opinion means so much to me.

There will never be a consensus as to the "best" BF bike, but I think my Merckx 7-Eleven is worthy of top 20 consideration:

It really chaps your ass that everyone isn't fawning all over your off the peg Swervelo...why don't you run along and start another thread about yourself...you must be feeling all insecure again, so it's time for a nice big BF hug...

To move on from Pbaby's pissing match...
I was watching Hell on Wheels today and what jumped out at me as much the bikes have changed in 6 short years. 2003 TdF state of the art bike had very few carbon cranks, and bars. The Pinerello's of Telekom looked more like road bikes with TT bars.

This one is not mine either, which is partly why it's always a contender.

While most of these bikes are beautiful...it's interesting how people complain about Treks having too many decals ....seems there' no dearth of name brands on the Cervelo, Specialized, or Colnago bikes..
