Nice ;)

NICE!!! Wow. Nice bike dude.

Constant downhill turned up to 11

dudes stop debating the geometry. the fucking bike isn't level in the photo. look at the distance the wheels are from the edge of the photo. even the shadow in the back drop is angled.

no idea why they did that.

problem?

Yes, the front tyre is still too big/fork too short. Tyre/downtube friction imminent,

Bridgestone is fuck-ugly

IMO the whole thing is a massive fail.

It looks like the guy has had a professional shoot done... which has a slight element of cringe. But that aside, if you're going to that effort, why not do it right? What's with leaving the commuting light on?... and then there's all the bike-photo-fails.

Plus that helmet is really windin me up

I thought helmets were in this season. Shit.

Judging the spelling (e.g. "tires") these rules must be American.
That explains...

Oh Lord, please forgive them, etc...
(looking a few days ahead and a couple of centuries back)

They are American, but the main contributor to this excellent site (Frank), is a Dutchman exiled in Seattle.

Q
Nick, Why is white handlebar tape so popular in the peloton? It must need to be changed constantly in order to have a nice, new-looking bike at each race. With black it would seemingly last longer thus save on tape and more importantly, save time for the mechanic.
— Scott Allen

A
White bartape is the sign of a pro mechanic. It is a LOT more work, to be sure. But because it shows dirt so easily, the fact that it’s clean says something about the guy working on the bike: namely that his hands are clean!
Black tape does last longer, but it just doesn’t look as good as bright white (in my humble opinion). I know that I go on and on about the laziness of mechanics, but it’s all tongue-in-cheek. They are some of the hardest working people I know. And they obsess over how their bikes look (most of them see the bikes as their own, not the riders). The goal is to have showroom bikes each and every day. That isn’t always possible, but nothing spruces up a slightly tired bike like brand new white bartape. It also acts as a diversion: if the tape is clean, so is the bike, even if that’s not always true.

The beginning of a hype?

Argh, please don't embed those images!

fancy using your own blood instead of hydrolic oil

at least it is a HOPE
