Cool bike porn pics and question

Below are a few pics of a prototype QR bike we did recently, it is basically a Lucero in all white paint with graphite colored graphics. We had created 2 of these, and one of them is now in the hands of Linsey Pickel of the Timex team. She will work the competition on this QR Dulce bike. :slight_smile:

My question though is, what do you slowtwitchers here think about this paint job?

Cheers,

It seems pretty plan Jane. I’d like it to be a bit flashier. Perhaps a differnt color for the trim.

The concept is great!! I don’t like the ā€œcurveyā€ stuff. Its a tad too feminine for me. But as I said, the concept of the paint job, within the white background is great!!

Herbert,

I love it. Of course, I’ve been accused of liking ā€œchick colorsā€ on my bikes (Baby Blue with Orange is still my racing color of choice for uniforms).

Hook a brutha’ up and I’ll qualify for Kona next year at CdA on that bike…And you can take that to the bank:-)

i think its a sexy bike … IMO … less is more :slight_smile:

My wife and I both really like it. I like it better than the all black. If I had what it costs, I would buy one. Much nicer than any of the cervelos.

It is the best paint job you do in the carbon bikes. I am not really a fan of black bikes, except for mountain bikes.

I love it. In fact, I very nearly bought the one that was for sale at R&A.

Like it, lot like the scheme on my K2 skis…

Can I have a number? Something about hot chicks with gravel rash :wink:

I think it’s beautiful. I wish that the bar tape was silver though. Or that there were a few more red accents in the paint job to help tie it in. But I really like the white!!!

That is really nice, not overly complicated but nice and simple, draws attention to the bike but doesn’t assault the senses like some do.

Like it… the curling design on the seattube is a little out of place though.

Every think of doing a clearcoat over white carbon with the same graphite graphics?

Bike whatever.

How about some more shots of Linsey Pickel. Damn - great tan, pretty smile, nice legs and feet - can we see a little more of that?

Oh, and, not bad paint job but I really am distracted by the hotty. Maybe if you want the bike to hold my attention you can hold it instead of the eye magnet.

hey Herbert

i think it looks sweet! and by the way Linsey’s dad Tom was my Boss for a year or so very nice family, and it’s really cool to see Linsey doing so well in the tri world i know she’ll do very well for you.

Dan…

Dig it. Maybe some color on the lettering to help tie the frame in with the rest of the bike. Maybe drop the swirly stuff on the seat tube and chain stay. But overall, I like it a lot.

Can you repaint my Tequilo? :slight_smile:

i fucking love it! You got some stuff on there but it’s not overpowering the bike. THe last few years, bikes have been getting too ā€˜flashy’ and ā€˜busy’ and cluttered looking for me.

Your model with the bike has some nasty ā€œbitesā€ on her legs. Hopefully the bike didn’t seize up and dump her :wink:

The ā€œswirlā€ graphics may skew towards the femme side (and I’d assume you sell more bikes to men than women) so from a marketing standpoint that may need to change but as far as color goes I give it a thumbs up! I agree with an earlier post with regards to having more of the secondary accent color (whatever it is) to match accessories with.

I dig it…I want one…I have a pair of white Zipp’s to match :slight_smile:

My favorite tri bike to date,used to stare at it on R&A, I think you should release it in the sizes the Lucero come in, including Small 650. So in the next couple of years when I either have the money to buy or the legs to prove to someone else to buy one for me it’ll be there.

i like the concept over all, but as others have said lose the swirly stuff. The fork is ok, but the seat tube is not good.
