Gorgeous.

That is the best looking bike I've ever seen.

The gay pride thing is a bit much. I do not like this bike.

Nothing wrong with the BIKE. I doubt they will sell too many in that color scheme though.

I hasten to add, it was Tony Jardine driving, Peta was the navigator. Was he distracted?

I got one with L'equipe for about a fiver last year ;-) It was so hot it was used as a parasol though!

Ceramic Derailer cage anyone? Only £240 quid. Not for campag, oh well.

Fill me in. What advantage is this supposed to offer? Cool factor I suppose, but what else? :?

Mmmm-hmm. (Langster is alloy-only I think?)

Bigger pulley wheels give a power saving, tested here to be an earth-shattering 1.76 Watts.

Like an over-sized exhaust pipe on a Vauxhall Nova. Yeah.

Love stuff like this.

Which is a pretty good result, if in rough terms it saves you from unnecessarily losing the benefit of about 0.5% of your effort at 300 watts. Totally useless for anyone but pros looking for any and every little gain though.

Although interesting that Keisse is also riding the same bike as Cav.

New colours for Lizard:

Aren't those brakes going to be rather messy/awkward for running in a UK controls set-up? I've not thought too much about the cable runs on these aero/integrated brakes so far.

Well, in our defense it does take courage to wear something like that.

I have 4 of them.

On the more practical side of things - the size of the cage allows me to run 32T cassettes on my bikes. Very handy.

I'm on e of those people that believes if you do 10 things on your bike that save 1 watt, you've saved 10 watts. Which in my world is a very gain. But taken in isolation, it seems (and is) ridiculous.


(Plus they make a non-ceramic version, and I don't pay full price for them).

So, is the whole thing made from "ceramic"? Or just the pulley's? Or just the cage? :? I must admit, a bigger cog in back can be a plus at times.
