Looks like its got some sort of arthritic joint disorder and swollen limbs. Very ugly and quite vulgar like many modern frames. We seem to have lost the art of beautiful, understated and functional design. Seems to reinforce the idea that new materials send designers / architects slightly potty and it takes many years for them to restrain themselves and start designing well again.0

After looking at it numerous times I have come to a decision. I don't like it. It looks really cool at first, but then it makes me think of some Jeremy Clarkson type bloke driving around in a Ferrari with his best faded denim jeans on. Trying too hard. Even though it is probably beautifully made, I think I would feel a bit of a dick riding it. Give me a classy Colnago C59 any day. But hey, each to their own.0

I hate all the junctions between the tubes. Just think it looks a bit s**t.
And the seat tube with the aero rear wheel cut out, and then the wheel is like an inch away from it. Not really aero at all.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0 -

The tubes look too big, poncey pointless over-styling. I think it looks tacky, just paying silly money for a name. It will look hideously dated after five years, not like a classic geometry style road frame with decent steel tubing, which will still look great after 50 years, huff!

Well, I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed.0

'Retro' might be 'cool' now but it won't be forever

Nah, i know what people mean, it's quite a unique design so it's bound to divide opinion. It is quite impressive in person however. On the other hand, I wouldn't buy one.0 -

It's different, which is always a good thing. Not sure I like it, but at least I've stopped flinching when I see them.0

Well I'm in a right grump today so I'll join the bandwagon and say it's effing hideos.
The video is crap as well, he looks a tool. Why all the close ups of him slowly turning his head? What's he trying to do get an equal tan on all sides of his clock?Specialized Venge S Works

Yep. Hideous stuff really. And looks in many ways like and extension of the same vulgar aesthetic displayed on very many carbon framed bikes - all big lumps everywhere. The attraction is the novelty. Soon we'll laugh at such designs. In many ways it looks similar to one of those Chinese ebay numbers - only at 10 times the price...
I'm under 30 so probably supposed to like this sort of thing, but give one of those gorgeous steel (953?) bikes on the previous page.0 -
Jesus that bike is pure sex on wheels!
Just watched the video as well, amazing video!0
