i know nothing about bikes, but that orange is sweet, and over all it looks like a solid construction. :up:

that black 'renthal' labeled area...is that added on, or part of the frame? is that sum kind of grease protector, or an aesthetic choice to mask the grimy buildup over time, or just protecting against chain scrapes?

Real men ride road bikes.

Uh no...real men don't ride on pavement unless they have no other choice.

You sir, are not a real man. You're probably one of those half-man/half-fagg0t hybrids that hipster queers get sticky over.

No. I ride a real road bike. Because I'm the epitome of a real man.

It helps with chain slap, but mainly it's an ad for Renthal. I had the bike covered in an 3M film from a company called Invisiframe to protect it.

Bawl, I've got a £4.5k BMC. I've gone right off road riding. Just too boring. The only reason I ride road now is to commute or for cardio.

This. We like to call them 'full pro kit wankers'.
