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?

I was surprised with the slopeyness myself but have it set up for same reach and drop as the caad 10 now, and it feels like a really good fit now. They do a himod frame but it's bananas money. Don't race what you can't replace and all that. Took me a while to get my head round the weight thing too, but, I'm no featherweight climber, so if the extra weight is a price to pay for higher top speed in sprints or whatever, then it's a price I'm happy to pay. I have the bmc if I want weight weenie

Re weight, I looked at the rim brake giant propel with manual ultegra and that was coming in similar weight. I reckon the disc version would be tipping on the door of 8.75 - 9 kg for disc version. Them aero bikes sure ain't light.

My S3 is coming in at 7.57kg as pictured. Chorus/Record/Super Record mix, alloy bars and stem. The disc brakes ain't helping you.

You pay dearly for light and aero for sure. I was watching a cycling weekly vid I think it was, an unboxing of a Scott Foil RC with zipps - the whole kit and caboodle. A 12 grand build and still the wrong side of 7kg.

Conversely the canyon aeroad cf slx seems very impressive in terms of euro to kilo ratio. - the rim braked ones like.

Needs more decals, that'll sort it.

whatever is going on with that inner ring makes it look like a triple.

Reminds me a little of that massive Felt/tiny shed from this forum in 2010.

We don’t have a “Fugly images” thread yet.

It's a gilded lily. That's almost worse.

Drop the bottle cages, wheel decal and perhaps the bar tape too and that's a beauty....

I had a nutella and bacon crepe once. Nearly died but it tasted amazing.

eeeee

I love that felt. It's making no excuses for its fabulousness.
If anything it needs more.
Red bottle cage maybe?

cjt156

Compared to the Cannondale it's positively understated.

i know usually in this thread, the photos posted of bikes which *should* look good, but don't, so this is a slight deviation from that norm:



available in argos.

Looking at that hurts my brain

Meh, full size folding bike for £160? Id take that over a Brompton style one for a commute. Red looks slightly better:

magicbastarder

It's not a commuting bike, it's a mountain bike. For shredding trails on and downhilling, one has to presume.

Thargor

Well it would make a better commuter than the regular style of folding bike.

Daroxtar

eeeee

*vomits*

magicbastarder

weird. if you look at it from a distance, it's OK. then you look closer...

Can I ask a question that's only vaguely related to the picture above? Can you only have tan sidewalls on a black bike (I understand that you can do what you want, but from an aesthetic point of view, is that combination the most acceptable)
