One for the greens to get excited about - a 4x4 manufacturer changing tack. Wonder if it qualifies RR for a reduction in the average Co2 o/p across their range, as required by soem EU reg IIRC.
There was a schort interview in C+ a bit ago I think it was with the design boss. Big cyclist and Bianchi lover, he said this was in to pipline
EDIT: I should have read the article, it's all in there really innit, apart from the bianchi bit :oops:Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame

Can Range Rover match up to the spec of these beasts?0 -
I was expecting a full war disc brake, dual suspension, damage the Earth knobbled tyre mountain bike complete with a seat cover made out of fox fur....
I'm surprised and wierdly dissapointed that I'm presented with an elegant and really attractive road bike.... me likey...Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

I read Alfa Romeo Bianchi and I immediately thought porn.... off to the toilet with my baby lotion I thought...
I so wanted this to be beautiful:

Land Rover bikes have been around for yonks (were built by Claude Butler as was obvious if you looked at the pics), I guess it being a road bike (the others were MTB/tourers mostly) fits in with the new Evoque (or WAG-oque as I'm sure it will be) being available in front wheel drive only car.

Why showcase a new road bike with a discontinued ShimaNO groupset?Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -
agree with DOnDaddy, an Alfa Bianchi should be a thing a beauty - difficult to see how they could make it uglier - whats with the non matching wheels?Bianchi Infinito CV

Campag Bora carbons - Have a look at the spoke patterns on your bikes wheels (if you have a road bike) - you will see they are different. Rear wheel carries more weight. keeps front nice and light too.0 -

Don't worry about it - Ferrari make MTBs as well as road bikes........ Saw them in the truly ghastly Ferrari shop in Milan a few weeks ago. Wierdly cheap spec in some respects irrc.gtvlusso wrote:Campag Bora carbons - Have a look at the spoke patterns on your bikes wheels (if you have a road bike) - you will see they are different.

Identical front and back is probably bad design! Lots of Campag wheels and other makes have different spoke patterns front and rear.Faster than a tent.......0 -
That Range Rover bike looks suspiciously like one of those ebay carbon frames (carbonzone??) with a paint job to me :!:0

Yeah, I liked the "...but this is no ordinary bike..." - err, well it kind of is CF has been used in bikes for years. And some of the components are colour matched to the frame :shock: Wowzer! What will they think of next.

Land Rover make a bike. My former boss (a bit of a petrolhead) bought one for the name. It's a rather good folding mountainbike.
The nice bit is, he started riding it to work and caught The Cycling Bug.
Just as well - his driving is terrible.___________________________________________

an inanimate object can not by definition be a menace. the menace comes from the yummy mummies driving them ( the term driving is used very loosley here) .Veni Vidi cyclo I came I saw I cycled0 -
Does not look bad.
Though I do not like the idea of integrated seatposts... don't you have to get it right 1st time? What if you cut it too short? :S0 -

well no. A feather cannot be a menace. A 3-tonne high-speed assault vehicle with a superpowered engine certainly can.0 -

since when did the typical Range Rover ever go off-road?
So very true. A mate of mine has a Vogue and when I asked him why he wanted a 4x4 he said its because he parks on a grass driveway!
I've done an off-road driving course and what those cars are capable of is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Using a Range Rover for the school run is as bad as using an Enzo for the weekly Waitrose run.
