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?

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?

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?

I pass a girl on the grand canal the odd time on one of those, didn't know what the hell it was first time I seen it.

Id love a go on one of them!

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?:

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?

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.
