Personally I like it, but only being compatible with Di2 is annoying!

As for the headset, why so high? Ruins it!

    The steerer hasn't been cut. Headset looks normal.

    Love the colour scheme, just a shame about the advertising decals.
  • isnt it the orica paintjob? isnt the whole point of a team paint job to have everything they do on it hence the ads?

    Not loud at all, but not the sort of bike to ride if you keep getting dropped on hills with your mates though
  • if its not the team job, whys it got orica and other adverts on it then, seems a bit pointless. nice colors though
  • Most bikes arent that understated with the brand logo all over the bike in many cases.

    Each to their own but i think it looks great.

    You were right the first time - it is the Green Edge (replica) team frame. Hence the logos and paint job.

    The Foil 40 is the same paint scheme and uses standard cabling as opposed to Di2. The only difference between HMX and HMF is about 100gms.

    As others have mentioned the steerer tube isn't cut. The geometry is quite aggressive and it uses a short head tube, so you can slam it like the pros and get low as you like.
