Almost hot. Need to be happy with the fit so you can chop off those things above the stems.

I'd like to think it's possible that a parts bin bike could be hot...

Yeah, that color scheme has been run into the ground. I'd like to see some good ole red, white and blue offerings. I really do like the introduction of blue into that scheme.

I do love a purple bike, but I'm not making the call until I see that spacer stack...

I call it hot, because I take slowgo's work on the reduced spacer stack. Really a handsome bike.

I submit for judgement my recently assembled and tweaked Merckx MX Leader, with some nerdy matchy-matchy colours.
