    Ryder Hesjedal's Limited Edition Tour de France 100 Year Anniversary Cervelo R5 Garmin-Sharp Team Bike & Team Jersey - auction

    Thank f'''' for that's a limited edition.

    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.

    It looks like something you'd see at a speedway event..

    I wonder if any pro riders will now publicly state their dislike of the pre F8 Dogmas now, I assume not as they are still in teams sponsored by Pinarello.

    hmm so where did you hear that the pros don't like the Dogma?

    The Dogma got good reviews in the German cycling press but never class leading scores.

    From an aero point of view at least, the F8 looks the business having used state of the art CFD and windtunnel at Jaguar.

    Canyon seem happy

    Thought Cipo was cool, then he goes and rides mismatching wheels?!?! -10000 style points

    He is cool. It's the people(nearly everyone), who ride totally color coordinated bikes and wheels, that aren't "cool". Why would you want to be like everyone else? I sure don't want to be. :wink:

    What would happen to the bike and the shoes if he hadn't got into the Pink jersey?

    Is there a very Limited edition Spesh Tarmac in pink with some pink S-works shoes that have had one careful owner who has never actually used them?

    The custom kit has a surprisingly quick turnaround.. they don't do it until they know the rider is in the jersey, then they get it couriered from the factory overnight.

    Quintana looks like the more fleshy sections of a delicatessen counter on a bike made of sausages.

    Not sure that a colour photocopy ironed on to 4 quid t-shirt has ever been counted as fashion.

    Yep, they were distinctive in their first season but now half the peloton looks the same from a distance. Not sure the shorts work with it though and it makes the sponsors names less prominent.

    They remind me of Dorothy's ruby slippers for some reason. Gottta say that if I actually saw someone wearing something like that I would burst out laughing.

    Brakes direct mounted on to the frame. I won't be able to use my AX Lightness brakes then :( . I don't understand why they do things like that. I want to use whatever brakes I want.
    Still a lot better than having your brakes down by the BB, Stupid idea.
    Supposed to weigh well under 800grms .
    Apart from the break mount it's very nice.

    Personally I like the integration of components. Bike design will move forward quicker when it stops being an assembly of bits.

    Oh, and you fancy having bits that aren't inter compatible and are unique to each frame; no DIY mixing and matching anymore, 10 times the price?
