Scale from 1 - 10, bonus points for exceptional style.

Make sure to include a picture of your bike.

That looks chunky and I don't like the colour. I'd give mine a 7 and that a 5.

+ the fact that My LBS hasn't had one for a test ride yet so don't know how bad it is- might downgrade it to 4.

El Diablo Rojo

There are no other road bikes I'd rather have than the ones I currently ride so everything else is at best a 9. Now I'd really like a Ridley Dean to replace my Ordu...

Rating stapfam,as I don't see EDR's pic...

7.7 Nice, clean, simple...

Mine on the other hand... not so much... sorry this is the only pic I have of her, and it's not the best:

Isn't that seat height a little high? It looks cool, but not very comfortable looking.
I guess if it fits...

hodie21

I'll give the one above a 6 because of it's high utility and I like the paint job.

10, tarmacs are awesome.

Nice GIANT. I like how the seat stays translate into the top tube. Looks nice, it does. EDIT: I'd give it a 7.5

From the picture, I've put on DA pedals, and a Sigma computer and some bottle cages.

How do you like the Kestrel? Is that a BD bike?

urbanknight

I like the balance of white and black, but the dork disc and plastic wrap still on the bars bring it down from an 8 to a 5.

My Tsunami Scandium

UK, I gotta say, that is a clean, lovely bike!
Give it a 9.0 as I feel like it needs...something, couldn't tell you what though.

Nice classic look. Just went carbon with my new ride, but I'm still an old school guy I'll give it a 9!

What can you say about BMCs. Beautiful works of art with the exception of the junction of stays and seat tube.. minus .1 points. the saddles is white and was flown in from Italy in preparations for this years Tour de France. Exquisite. Plus 1/2 point for that. lugged can be nice but would have rather had the transitions a little smoother. 7 over all on that. if that's a SRAM group, well that's an extra 11ty billion points. But serious.. Awesome ride although those joints do leave something lacking. I'd give it an 8.2 outta 10

here's mine..be harsh.. i can take it...

Thanks! Since taking that pic, I have changed the stem to a -17* Ritchey Pro, changed the seatpost to an Alpha Q carbon, changed the bottle cages to Specialized Rib Cage in matching blue, removed the Rollamajig, the wheels are now AC/Ritchey - XR200 handbuilts, and changed to Shimano SPD-SL pedals.

What it might be lacking is what kind of bothers me to this day: the mismatched components - dark gray Ultegra 6403 brakes and FD, and shiny silver Ultegra 6700 shifters and RD - kind of disrupt any continuity. Since it's aesthetic only, I have no valid reason to change them.

urbanknight

I really like it. It's all dark with just enough red to give it a mean, intimidating look. I'd go with a 9.8 as the only thing I would even consider changing is to fancier wheels.

Just for fun, rate my custom build from 1995.

Above:

Auch....I really don't like yellow....And with all the anodized componentts around that time...Why blue?
Anyways...cool build. I'll give it...........................

K&K_Dad

I can't touch that one.. my shrink says I have to figure out on my own why the seatstay is really a TTStay.. I'm confused...Colors are nice though.. definitely see the theme going on ..

Dick Rhee

There are some super nice components on that ride, but the execution seems a little odd. Mostly, I'm not a fan of the stem (or integrated bar/stem?); it seems odd to add such a curved feature on an otherwise straight-tubed bike. Love the Corimas though, but a deeper front rim would be more beneficial since the rear sees a more turbulent air stream. 7.5

More bikes to come, but the Canyon is my favorite. Sorry, it's not the best picture:

urbanknight

I like blue, and blue & yellow matched the Decals on the frame. Those parts were actually custom anodized, because medium blue was not available at that time, except for the Salsa skewers (shrug). Light blue, purple, gold, green, and (pinkish) red were available from almost every manufacturer, but not medium blue. Still, thanks for the honesty, and the kind rating despite it.

Lectron

Should have seen that.......As for the color not available, I didn't know, but I should have seen different brands with different alloys having same color.
My bad...I usually have an eye for details

The wheels where meant to have as low interia as possible, and as for the integrated handlebar/stem....
It's the beefiest and actually square looking combo available. I hate a flexy cockpit

X-LinkedRider

Love the white on that canyon.com bike. Id give that an 8 being that there isn't special wheels to make the frame pop.
And those handlebars above me I'd give a 9. Love that Extender bar for the cyclometer. (Edit because I saw this after I posted.)

Wheels on the way at some point soon.

Fairly new to me so a work well in progress.

Man I've always had a weakness for those old GT triple triangle frames. And the matchy matchy matchy match is fun, though yellow and blue are questionable colors. You get an 8.5.

Dick Rhee

Good lord! The one thing I would like to change on my Canyon is the 4-bolt faceplate to the Syntace stem is actually two pieces, which reduces the torsional rigidity compared to a standard one-piece faceplate. Maybe I'll be able to pick up a more rigid stem if more manufacturers start supporting 1-1/4" steerer tubes (not likely). About the wheels, it should make more aerodynamic sense if the deeper rim was on the front wheel, although it would look totally wonky. I saw a picture of some Garmin rider (Pate?) doing this last year.

Lectron

I have 808's for aero, these are sprint and fun and as for Garmin 500.......That's for wimps.....I can carry a laptop on these bars lol

And...I like colors hehe
