Are you happy with the bike? It was just out of my price range but supposedly a brilliant bike for the money, be interested what you think of it. And how much you paid!
I'm talking about matching the colour of the bar tape with the primary colour of the saddle though.
fair enough - had black originaly - my personal preference is the white - good job we're not all the same.
You probably can't see it on the photo - the bar tape has black FIZIK logos on it.

Yeah, really like it - my previous bike was an aluminium bianchi via nirone 7 xenon with carbon forks but wanted to upgrade & I went for it based on the reviews and the fact that I've become a bit of a SRAM man after buying a Boardman CX Team with SRAM apex as my commuter. Lovin the double tap system.
The SRAM force on the Izalco is FAB!
Having the same frame as the Pro's use was a bonus - very stiff which is good as I'm 90kg & 6'4"
I got a good deal from Leisure lakes at Daventry & they allow a bit of a test ride too.

Don't mind him - he gets a bit hung up on 'the rules'! It would look dull, if more practical, with black tape. IMO of course!

Yeah I'm not saying white looks bad, in fact I'm with you in that I prefer white given the rest of the bike is black, but saddle and bar take have to match!

Not my fault! its the rules - and this is one of the few that isn't ironic
Thanks for all the comments :-)
Im 6'4" - I think that the camera angle magnifies the seat height - it certainly doesn't look that high in reality.
As for the rules bit - its a bit odd that if the seat & bar tape are supposed to match when the bike was new it had a white prologo saddle & black tape...... Go figure...?
I know you say you are 6ft 4 hence the height, but I have recently purchased a Focus bike and did so with an XXL frame.. I am 6ft 3 and the bike fits snuggly and I certainly dont have that height difference from seat to handlebars!
Still as always its all about personal preference, I think the bike is a cracker and if thats how you find it comfortable fair play
Agree with everyone else here. The bike is nice but the wht tape doesn't go at all. The huds I think look cool but would look much better against blk tape to match the saddle...
Look 595 ultra - F+F for sale.....

My OCD suggests I point out the rear tyre needs moving a little bit to be inline with the inner valve.
or black bar tape.
The height of the seatpost, and drop to the handlebars, is amazing, do you ride long distances like this and find it comfortable?
the saddle has pink & white stripe - see; http://www.condorcycles.com/Accessories ... e.tpl.html

It would be soooo funny if the OP rode it wearing Muddy Fox specials from Sports Direct
Aldi is actually my ensemble manufacturer. LOL

the limit marker is about an inch or so inside the frame so its all safe.
