    I think it's just graphics actually. A trick of a white decal on a white background. The original pic was on a black background on Canyon. Com

    Edit. No I'm wrong actually. That's mad alright. I guess seatpost weighs more than "not seatpost" :)

    What, so a bike is not a bike unless it is in a garden or on the side of a road somewhere?

    Sorry to spam you all with pics of my new bike**

    Decals removed from the wheels. I prefer the stealth look anyway. Down to 6.5kg with those bottle cages. I'll have to weigh again now that the decals are gone. It all counts.

    Raam will be laughing on the other side of his face the next windy day he leaves his bike unattended and it blows away.
    though maybe it will end up like that plastic bag scene in 'american beauty'.

    No way - I've enough TT bikes already. If Jens were to put his hour record track bike up though that may be different...

    Had a sneaky spin on this earlier today while Raam was out running with his bike on his shoulder. That stem needs lowering. Even with your saddle height being slightly higher than mine is, it doesn't feel racey in the drops like mine does. Still nice though. If there was any less material on the "saddle" it would be a seatpost!
