2015 Gear

frenchfighter

More and more of the photos being posted on the 2014 Gear thread are actually 2015 related so probably a good idea to start this one up to be honest. If people prefer to keep the other one open though I can still post up on that thread.

Not seen these Oakley's before:

New model, most likely to be called "Jawbreaker" as per a few sources.

Interesting, they look like a modern version of those retro shades.

Those photos do not do that Canyon Justice.

I clocked one in the flesh on Saturday and it looked awesome...I confess I did drool on the shoulder of the lady next to me...

I'm normally the last person to say this, but those Oakleys are U-G-L-Y UGLY! That said I'll probably end up owning a pair so I'll keep it zipped

Rudy Project FTW.

Ugly...but if its functional ill be interested. I dont really like having the lens sit on my face like on the Radars, prefer a bit of frame at the bottom like on Jawbones/Racing Jackets

I thought this was for 2015 gear? That's a 2014 one off bike.

Nope. Fandango's were fakes sold ages ago. If you read the link carefully - it takes you to the entire thread about the glasses, including links to a recent patent by Oakley for the name "Jawbreaker".

I like a pair of Oakleys as much as the next man but I'm not sure I would want to join a forum about them!

You are correct... I got bored a few pages in.

Ahhhh yes. Shoes with laces. Kind of been wondering how long it would take before they made a comeback. Are they going to be called "new tech" or something along those lines?

2015 Scott Plasma 5 TT bike.

Note that the nosecone and bento box on top tube come OFF for UCI events. Expect to see this in the Tour TT.

frenchfighter

That is incredibly ugly!

inseine

You've got hope that that is really fast (probably is given it's heritage).

Yeah, but won't every triathlete want one? In any case "...eye of the beholder".

I think one of the fastest bikes ever was the Shiv with the nosecone (still is). Not UCI legal any more, but those crazy triathletes love it.

Yes, it's a fast bike. Designed (like many Tri bikes) as function/speed over form.

The UCI version is a bit nicer looking.

Having the previous model of Specialized triathlon bike ( Transition ). They maybe aerodynamic but you'll only get a benefit if you can cycle at a ridiculously fast speed to start with. Which my small skinny body struggles with. Below 25mph theres not much benefit. I also find the gearing quite high and something about the tri bike, don't know if it's the different geometry, really kills my quads compared to my road bike.
