    How Much weight ?

    I'm sure I saw around 120g off the frame

    Where?

    since you've been acting like an idiot to prove people wrong its in here but it's 80g. idiot

    Wow!!!! Only 80 grams. I was all ready to buy at 120 grams but now......
    How much faster would the bike have been at a minus 120 as compared to only 80? Think I'll wait until next year and maybe they will shave off another 60 or 80. That would make it really fast? Right? Meanwhile, I guess I'll have to just trudge along on my current bike. Such a sad state of affairs for me and everyone else. Only 80 grams?

    C'mon, who's more fun to poke fun at than the weight weenies?
    OK, ya got me. I forgot just how hilarious triathletes make this world. Still, weight weenies are an easy bunch to harass and deservedly so. :lol::lol:

    For a start off I WAS NOT TRYING TO PROVE YOU WRONG. I was just asking where you saw the weight so I could take a look. Jesus. What a d%%k

    Definitely right there, but a better reference is surely a slapper's handbag?

    So what is the deal with the black brit champs jersey? Is it just for training? Has he worn it in a race yet?

    My previous guess was so he blends in a bit better with all the darker colours in the peloton, too easy to spot in the other one perhaps? This way he blends in a bit more in sprints, a bit like Sagan who's jersey is pretty similar to the rest of the teams at a glance.

    I think its just a training version of the kit - he has still been wearing the white one in races since it first appeared.

    You mean this is his way of circumventing all the 'Cav's got fat' training pics... fair enough!

    Take the decals off the stem and wheels, black carbon seat. Get rid of the aero crank and take the race number off and that would look rather good.
    Just to much going on.

    So, all in all, a different bike would look better. :wink:
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    THAT saddle to bar drop. Nice!

    With Vaughters as your style guide the colour scheme is never going to be that spot on!

    The white saddle is technically allowed as it matches the rear triangle.

    That said it is a bit of a dogs dinner. Great bike underneath all that confusion though

    Incidently this is why sky have a strict 2 colour per component policy. Say what you will about the team but their bikes always look spot on
