    Needs Pinarello forks to complete the "pre-crashed" look.

    It just looks stupid. Awful colour scheme too, looks very "shack-tastic".

    That Look is a lovely bike. That sort of swoop shape on the Wilier works in carbon. Not in titanium. They are a monstrosity. The down tube on the one Tom linked just looks bent. What is the aim with this?

    Look admitted that the bent top tube serves absolutely no functional purpose, which I find slightly irritating.

    They could at least have made something up.

    Looks like one was hit from behind and the other crashed into a wall.

    Sabbath were on my list of potential sources for my next bike - hopefully this means their 2009 models will drop significantly.

    What a disaster. Ugly, ungainly, heavy looking crap. I think they have screwed up big time. Who on earth would spend their money on something so ugly? I bet I will never see someone riding one of these things.

    ...'New Wave' cold working process, which has allowed them to use thinner tube walls and create larger weld areas without heat damage, resulting in lower weights and increased stiffness

    So just build a nice looking, lighter and stiff bike? A Lynskey Helix frame is £1k cheaper than that Silk Emperor. I know what I'd buy.

    There was a Cube bike brought into Wheelworx when I was there a while back, a guy from Donegal had crashed into a car that stopped dead on an empty roundabout, so he ploughed into it at 35km/h. The top tube and downtube were buckled in 2 places, no cracks, kind of like those bikes. It actually looked quite cool... Interestingly, he rang CRC where he bought it, and they were not offering any service or help, not so much as a contact for Cube in Germany (I think that's where they're from...). Very surprising, as my experience with CRC has been great, but there you go. Think Wheelworx managed to salvage most of the groupset for him anyway.

    For what it's worth I had a pretty similar experience with CRC when I crashed a bike I had bought from them. Other than that one time I have had good experience with them including warranty returns.
