A carbon LTS?, old skool bike porn that is, cutting edge in the late 90's, cracked a lot.

Apart from the valve/logo/decal alignment, I quite like that.

Slicks? SS? And the slackest seat angle I've ever seen.

Google Image Search
GT: Best guess for this image: five spoke
Paperclip: Best guess for this image: ugly bikes

Paperclip wins.

Nice job on getting Paul Components V-brakes in 2 colours to match the bit of bike they are attached to.

They are I think the only v-brake you can use 700c wheels with a 26" frame as the pad mounting hardware can slide up and down the arms all the way.

Pretty sure the fork is a Look Fournales.
I had a LTS 1000ds, was a really fun bike to ride, although the trunnion chips wore pretty rapidly on mine.

The paperclip bike is worse but must admit clashheart's bike is a chaos effort too!

It just looks... I don't know... emaciated!

Like a bikes had it's bones taken out then put on display like a T Rex out something!
