I'm pleased with it, saddle is a test model and bar tape not right yet.

    Nice, needs a couple of googly eyes in the centre of the bars.

    Like that, it manages to look space age and retro all at once. What bars/stem are those?

    Like the engage brakes! How do they perform? thought about those myself!

    A stunning looking machine, like it a lot.

    Not totally convinced as yet on the stopping power, in addition they are absolute pain to set up and adjust - seriously considering putting the RS's on.

    Just done 2nd ride on the Laser, my first carbon frame. After sorting out a few noisy gear issues it rides super, although noisier than my equivalent Cinelli Corsa Neuron. A lot lighter, weighing in just under 7kgs even with Campag pedals and clips and conventional wheels. Bars - Ram 3 - are super comfortable, brakes still a bit iffy, front OK, rear mostly useless!
    Handling better than the Corsa, but best of all is a Daccordi in SLX I have.

    I really like that, space age bars and everything! Do you know why they have such a radical design? is it meant to aid in dampening of vibrations?

    I doubt may people are familiar with the legend of the Cinelli Laser. Here's the original Laser from 1980

    Also sold as a road version

    I remember the original Laser, ball-achingly lovely in its day but looks slightly odd now with DT shifters!
    The new carbon version harks back to that model and it's amazing and gorgeous and I really really want one :)

    I'm sure if you re-mortgaged the kids you could afford an original one :twisted:

    It's just a hill. Get over it.
