They're about level, but really tall. Stem won't go lower, and I'm 5'11", on a "small" frame. I'm trying here, lol.

I know it's the hood's fault (a -17 would help), but still a hot killer for me.

Not.

Tires, purple hubs with red accent on the pedals, stack above the stem, seat looks pushed too far back.

Frame/drivetrain/bar tape is hot. The rest is not.

I love it when someone who calls out a bunch of other bikes finally posts their bike and everyone piles on the revenge "nots"

Also, gumwalls look great on carbon wheels, imo. Anything with a silver brake track and there's just too much going on.

I agree, gum-walls with non-silver brake tract, after additional consideration.

I think on a black and white bike, it looks best without. I do run the GP Classic on my AD10 Master, and it is a nice looking tire.

Peel off the wheel decals and maybe, but probably not.

It's pretty difficult to make any bike that's $4k or above not hot. I would say like 90% of the bikes I've seen that are pretty expensive ($5k+ are hot) and that proportion decreases pretty realistically with price. Is Sora hot or RedEtap hotter?
