    Amazing how much better that Cervelo looks with a horizontal top tube.

    I used to love the fancy paint jobs on the old master frames, I remember seeing them in Whiskers as a kid, couldn't afford one then and still can't afford one now but I do agree they have to be saved from being single-speeded. Such a beautiful frame should not be ridden by one in skinny jeans/red trousers.

    Interesting that after spending lots of time and money to convince us that a sloping geometry is a lot better, now they're going back to flat top tube or even anti-sloping... yet another example of how the industry makes no sense at all.
    When the last sloping frame will be dumped, I will be happy again... :mrgreen:

    Bora wheels must be the ultimate chav cycling accessory. They make me feel sick to look at when static so the effect of them spinning must be epilepsy inducing, so garish. Campag used to have style and taste :(

    Lightweights, Cosmics, Boras. The red may be a tad garish but the spoke pattern is lovely and there are other colours. Also, they are understated compared to many awful wheels.

    Am I the only one who doesn't find black bikes sexy ?

    And that's from someone whose winter bike is all black but the only thing about it being black is that the dirt isn't quite so obvious

    My bikes don't have any paint. Nude carbon with some 303 for protection. No scratches, no cable rub.
    Easy as pie .

    Even on the dirtiest day a wipe down with baby wipes and it is as good as new.

    Y ban self lube chain. Use a tiny tiny amount of ceramic lube. Cogs always look spotless.

    it's all to easy.
