IMO, hot is effortless or at least making it look so.

6.35kg with pedals, cage and lights.
Yes I know it's a bitsa but it works sweet, the aesthetics of the Red bits are a good match for 9000, and one of these days I'll throw 9070 shifting at it anyway. Maybe wait till I can afford the 9170 levers, which look a fair bit better IMO

Hot or Not Tip, if you ride SMP and wanna post your ride in the thread, switch it out with something that isn’t suffering from ED just for the pic.
IMO, jury is still out on the different depth wheels. I get their purpose but I’m pretty sure it ain’t this thread.

I get it. I am on the trainerroad plan so 5 days a week on the trainer. When the weather's nice I switch to an outdoor day. Not swapping the saddle anytime soon. I actually might keep it on I can ride in the drops with this saddle way longer than the power I had on. Enve only sells these wheels this way, they're not for looks, which I suppose is the point of the thread lol. I guess my race rig isnt meant for hot or not. I am ok with that

Since taking this pic two weeks ago, I've swapped out the Record 11 pieces and JT GT-F calipers for H11 ergos + calipers, SR11 rd and SR12 fd.
A budget build that has exceeded all my expectations.

also, the off-balance 5000 label would be a deal-breaker for me - I'd never buy 'em.

For your consideration. 2020 S-Works Roubaix.
The wheels are not as hot as they could be, I know. And maybe I should've waited until a sunnier day, but no pictures ever do full justice for the paint job, and I was too excited to wait any longer.

Edit: If you feel the need for valve stem caps, put some black ones on.

My old Scott CR1, first in climbing guise @ 6.75kg
With deep sections
I am not a fan of the red cables but they're light weight alu and black had sold out. Much prefer the look of a straight top tube too!
