    I wonder, how they intend routing them!

    Voodoo, can be the only explanation for such hideousness*

    The entire design budget was spent on the fabulous mudguards. They didn't have time to worry about brake cables.
    Obviously you are not an artist, or you wouldn't be moaning about such banal matters.

    Okay, so that cannondale eliminates toe overlap problems, but does anyone know how it turns? Also, wouldn't be much fun if you rolled into a pothole in the road!
    I'm guessing the line of little wheels at the front all turn in unison, like a troupe of synchronised shopping trolley wheels pretending to be chorus girls.

    It pains me to put a Colnago here, but it has to be done.

    I assume the thing on the front is for water? If so how much do you need? Isn't this really a TT bike? What is that pole on the front that is upright?

    Is that a drinking tube ?

    AeroVault System features an integrated front hydration unit, toptube storage box and downtube water bottle that, together, improve the bike’s overall aerodynamic performance.

    That made it even worse so the up right pole is to drink out of. Looks a bit smaller, the water holder, on the 360 view than I thought it would be.

    Ah that is what it is for. I thought initially it was to put your eye out in a crash.

    Nope, it is in fact to facilitate gouging out your eyes because you clearly don't need them if you were able to get close enough to that monstrosity to actually use it without being blinded :pac:

    Looks like a Defy got turned into a self driving bike or weaponised drone or something:

    I don't think it's better looking

    :shakey:

    Stand over height - you can have a high saddle but still be able to have your feet on the ground without the top tube bifurcating your crown jewels.

    Frame itself I think is okay, but the whole thing is just dire to me.

    Narrow frame tubes combined with deep section rims; its not a good look.
    That's aside from the chainguard, which we'll have to pretend we haven't seen.

    Some of the Chinese websites can be quite fantastic at this...

    Looks like a test for red-green colour blindness, I imagine it could look quite stylish for those who are. White bar tape though, yuck.

    Needs white cables though at least.

    colour scheme is horrendous, I like the wheels. The white bar tape = a pair of white high heels and white mini skirt!
