The gold carbon frame really does it for me.

    I thought you had heard something about the bedroom habits of the podium girls.

    Hey ho, never mind... gold carbon it is!

    Nah its the Orbea Orca! (although I am biased :wink: )
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    The Fuji is the one that came to mind straight away. TBF though there's no real mingers this year is there? I even like the trek is that weird?

    I find the BBox Colnago's a bit weird, they don't match the riders as they are black and fluo yellow. Like Milram with their fluo yellow helmets which don't match the jerseys.

    The Fuji's do look a bit bling. If that's your think, look at the new Orbeas too. If I could take a pick, I'd probably ask for a Cervelo but the Cofidis Looks seem nice and the Williers of Lampre are always elegant. I'm sure plenty will appreciate the Sky Pinarellos but they are quite heavy.

    Like the Milram Focus very nice.

    Best for me is the Cannondales of Liquigas and Felts of Garmin.

    Saw a photo of VDB's ride - it is pretty cool. Can't remember where I saw it though...

    Hushovd's

    Pineau's

    The bike Schleck was riding yesterday is pretty cool and of course the yellow one for Fab and Andy is also quite nice.

    For me it's between the two fleuro ones, the Wilier Cento Uno Petacchi and the Colnago C59, both gorgeous ....

    I'd love Pineau's one - it'll be a red flag to sunday cyclists with KOM kit. Go to a hilly area and pretend to be dying on your bike as they whizz by, then follow them up a hill and overtake them at the last minute - ta da! :lol: My favourite version is not overtaking but following someone relentlessly till they run themselves into the ground :D

    Having said that, the paintwork on Jurgen's is beautiful.

    Really dislike Voelecker's, has no personality at all.

    Wilier Cento Uno - love that think, have a mortirolo and cant wait to get a Cento Uno next year fingers cross.

    Mind you i wonder which pro team will ride Wilier next year as Lampre are going to be no more.

    The Fujis are as ugly as their kit. VDB's Canyon looks very nice though.

    I think they are all vulgar; no class anywhere.
    Are deep section wheels popular becasue you can get bigger, more awful logos on them?

    Easily - they stand out a mile and compliment the rest of the teams' normal colour ones.

    liked the Look 695's Cofidis were riding - all in white isnt the best colour for them though, but they did look good on the road IMHO.

    This COULD have been the best looking bike but then they ruined it with Cofidis' paint job:

    Are those wheels on Basso's Ulitimate Carbones?

    Cav's bike is a bit of a minger. silver scott?

    The Cervelo one is looking good though.

    Sastre's R5ca looks sweet, but prefer the 'stealth' version Lancaster was riding at the Tour of California. Gather this was the bike Sastre rode over the cobblestones in St 3 - 650 grams or something ridiculous...
