    The matt black is classy. I like a matt finish but I'm not sure I'm liking the rear end. The seat post/seat stay/top tube amalgamation while it may be aero is not aesthetically pleasing.

    I reckon it looks fine. If they kept it matt that would be good. Shame he is in the opposite gear combo he should to properly present the bike.

    For once I find myself in complete agreement with FF.

    Other than that... it's a bike, it looks like a bike, probably rides like most other bikes.

    I read that in the M&S advert voice.

    I don't think the pics do the F8 much justice. Trust me, it is an amazingly beautiful bike and feels great.

    Looks like a propel without the rear wheel cutout. Not sure about the curved TT but otherwise like it. Although stem looks oddly small compared to head tube.

    I wish bikes would go back to being graceful with narrow tubes, they're getting chunkier and chunkier. Time for a UCI width:depth ratio of 1:1 I reckon :wink:

    It reminds me of my MTB Hardtail quite a lot I must say...

    Mine too, the head tube looks like it should be on a downhill bike though.

    Dunno, mines an XC race 29er and it looks like that. Makes it super stiff doesnt it...

    Luddites. We all like a nice looking bike, but let's not discard the time honoured design mantra of "form follows function". You lot are worse than the bloody UCI.... ;-)
