    It looks pretty normal to me. But if you are a tall bloke then I can see how it would look small. Bikes for tall blokes look awful imo.

    Looks normal to me, large bikes and small bikes can both look weird. In terms of aesthetics something like a 54/56 is usually the nicest looking size.

    I like the paintjob on it but I'm always a fan of customising bikes (As long as it's tasteful). I wanted to do mine but I'm not sure about painting the carbon. That Cannondale harks back to the Cannondales of old which had simple bold colours. The newer ones generally have a bit too much going on for me (I know they do a few plain ones still)

    China's Baidu launch the DuBike http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/26/baidu-dubike/
    a non-motorized bicycle equipped with regenerative electric tech and laden with smart fitness technology. It sports heart rate, pedal rate, peddle pressure and other sensors which which connect via Bluetooth to a smartphone app.

    Expect all Velon teams to start using it shortly...

    ...but it's a barbarism of an already barbarised example of a barsterdised bicycle (with no mudguards).

    They also say

    "...to name just a few possible functions."

    Bit of a get out clause there.

  • Yep, and it has "peddle pressure" sensors... Presumably that tells you when the salesman is on your back to close the deal. :D

    That's the way. Black shorts, white socks. Should be enshrined in law.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    This bike has nothing to do with new 'gear' in the slightest and is certainly not in any way 'pro'.

    It's a privately custom painted caad10 build from the Weight Weenies forum.

    Can we just move this entire thread to 'Road General' and be done with it as only about 20% relates to pro bikes/gear/kit. TBH it's just a 'sticker album' for the OP to show off to his mates at lunch time.

    Fair enough ... Not so sure folks should be posting others personal pictures from around the internet on a public forum without their permission. I'm sure FF received a ban for similar in the past. The stuff from media websites etc. is fair game (if credited) but to lift stuff from other social media arenas without any permission or context is just wrong.

    Why would anybody be put out if a picture they posted gets re-posted positively on another forum?

    This is one thread which is positive, post some new gear yourself, collectively add to it.
  • MTN obviously looking to court the attentions of the Vuelta organisers just in case Brambilla and Rovny are riding.

    That MTN kit is a bit footbally, but at least it'll stand out. Better than last year's.
