    that looks like one of the increasingly complex spaceships i used to draw in my copybooks as a kid.

    The Cervelo P5X, of a similar cut to the Falco above, regularly pops up in the news feed of a local bike shop who seem to have shifted a couple.

    Its always fawned over, for me vomit inducing.

    No need for front brake lever when you can just grab it by hand

    the wheels are savage, indeed. they look like something an 8 year old would make as part of a school project.

    I thought I realised that bike. It's SprinterDellaCasa's bike. I remember seeing some of his videos on youtube back in 2007.

    Ducati had a go at an e-bike:

    I'd not be overly interested on motor bikes but can appreciate a nice one. Fella used to stash his Ducati in the bike cage at a job I was in years ago. Lovely machine, and he left it as it was from the factory without fairings etc and it was a thing of beauty. That yoke up there is no Ducati.

    Stem like a walking stick - I'd say it'd act as a breaker bar if you came off it

    I'm not sure what I'm looking at there. It seems to be some class of a folding bike, and I presume the stem is telescopic or something, but it hardly came with those handlebars as stock, did it?

    Not with bar-end shifters, no. It looks like an Airnimal Chameleon, which is pretty high-end amongst folding bikes. It may not be the prettiest, but it's an interesting bike all the same.

    Ad says "Rarely used due to injury" so you mightn't be all that far off the mark!

    What is going on with his left thigh, it's twice the size of the right one, must have rode up alpe d'huez one legged a few times :D

    Odd one , whats the connection between skateboarding and cycling? Maybe that Rapha gear and Palace stuff is equally expensive. I was in the Palace shop in London and wasn't long walking back out having seen the prices for a tshirt even let me tell you :D

    They did this a decent collab with Juventus.

    I’d say yer man is delighted he won the Colombian champs so he can wear the champs jersey instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭Daroxtar


    I'm not pushed on the bike but in this era of muted and dull tones that jersey is a classic.
