That Ceepo could do with a set of these wheels to finish off the look

without a matching one on the back.

Beauty or beastliness is very much in the eye of the beholder. Some of the notorious uglies in this thread look alright to me.

How much does the Ceeco weigh?

"From the top or the bottom, the Shadow-R still seems to have a fairly wide profile, but that’s mostly limited to the center section around the hubs and drivetrain. Based on the 1,450g weight of the fork alone, it sounds like it must have a lot of aero benefit to justify that much weight. Combined with the 40T high modulus carbon frame that clocks in at 2,230g, you have a 3,680g frame weight – although that does include an integrated tool and bento box. The frame is built to accommodate flat mount disc brakes, most drive trains, and also many stems and bars on the market"

Hory sheet!! 3.7kg!!

Theres a guy pushing one of these around Bray and I saw a couple of them in Dublin aswell, not this exact model, it looks more roadbike-ish. Every time I see him crawling along at barely above walking speed he looks to be in physical pain, what is the point of these?

it's a skateboard for people who think skateboards are uncool.

My eldest tried out her cousins scooter recently , think she gave it 3 or 4 pumps before throwing it down in disgust

Even a 4 year old knows they're crap .

Possibly he has very severe haemorrhoids, which caused him to trade in his bike for this monstrosity.

Re the S-works TT bike above: the junction between the seat tube and seat stay seems to be very low. You'd imagine the frame is flexy as hell.

Darwinism applied to tri-athletes?

You'd want a genuine reason to push that heap of sh1t around.

I know a guy with a bike that looks like an elliptical/cross trainer. It's a weird looking thing. He can't cycle a normal bike because his hips are bolloxed.

It's something like this:

two and a half grand? surely it'd be possible to make them for cheaper?

For two and a half grand you would get your hips sorted !

The Eliptigo is a serious machine. I met a group doing audax on these. 600km in the UK and the 1260km Paris-Brest-Paris in 2015...

part of the Pinarello gravel bike, that's the best name they could come up with?:

Raam

http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/michael-matthews-2019-team-sunweb-cervelo-s5-gallery/

Saw that earlier and thought that it had weird looking proportions, looks long and short and wrong. Then I guess I don't race my bike and Michael Matthews does but a half hour for me on that I'd wager my back and neck might have something to say about the next time I go for a spin

EDIT: Seeing it again looks like you'd actually have to cut that seatpost to size

just for raam
my new system six ultegra in the obligartory "i've just built it up in my kitchen' pose



have to sort out my position on the front and drop the bars down a bit.

I was considering getting the olive green version but I couldn’t justify the price. It looks so much better with the next spec up wheels.

yeah, the other wheels look good. I have a set of 50 mm ordered for it as those wheels look gank and weedy.

It may be removed from this thread once you put on the new wheels

Best of luck with it.

Looks great Lenny - I didn't realise the top tube was as "sloping" as that. Do you think you could have gone a size up in the frame and fewer spacers and less seatpost?

I'm surprised at the weight as well. - Do Cannondale do a like the supersix and offer a regular and high mod frame version?
