    So no-one's noticed Sagan's on disc brakes there then? :P

    Too dazzled by the shiny stuff?

    Good article showing 2017 WT bikes in more detail:

    I'd have the Cannondale or the Bianchi. The rest... meh.

    Too many short seat stays and sloping top tubes.

    I think the ones I really don't like are the Merida, the Venge and the S5. The S5 has a really horrid seat tube, and I've never liked the way the seatpost kicks in so much on those - looks like a TT bike. Don't like the Pinarello forks but otherwise the F10 is their best looking for a while.

    Not such a fan of the BMC but it's passable.

    The Aeroad and the Oltre are my picks (although the Supersix is nice, I just like a decent looking aero bike).

    Doesn't matter much anyway. He isn't going to ride the 8.46 kg bike for anything meaningful. I like the Venge Vias a lot more than most, but compromising some of the aero shape (or carbon layup) in order to get at least close to 6.8 kg would have been the better call imho.

    I want to go away from the same old boring black bikes and wasn't even considering the CAAD12, but then saw this gorgeous picture and the girlfriend infernal succubus that she is, started to take the wind out of my sails with sensible arguments against spending 5000 Euros on a bike! :cry:

    I would think the timing might be very good to get a Pinarello Dogma F8 though. Clearance sales etc...

    Also wouldn't Dura Ace 9070 Di2 be discounted soon when 9150 becomes available? Or Ultegra much cheaper with 9070 filling the current Ultegra spot?


    Very very nice
    :D

    So a while ago I mentioned in another thread that a mate had won a Dogma F8 in a Team Sky comp. The other part of the prize was to spend this past weekend at their camp in Mallorca. He had the loan of a F10 yday for the training ride with them. He's in love.

    With Sky or the F10?
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Noob question, but how do they get the bikes to stand up on their own for these pictures?

    Do they shove them along and take a picture while it's moving, or just airbrush out a stand?

    The shadow behind the back wheel in that photo looks like it was stood with the back wheel pressed against a wall.

    Normally they just use one of those little wheel stands with the bulk of it on NDS and photoshop out the bit by the stands, don't they.

    Sagan rocking the gold wheels (discs too). I love his jersey / shorts combo.

    Yep, Rainbow stripes with black shorts is the only way. Shame about that bike

    The on-bike lubing seems to be a solution searching for a problem to fix, esp. with regards to Pro bikes.

    It's going on the list with tubs, disc brakes and gold rims as pro-stuff that will never be found on any of my bikes!

    I keep saying - frames & wheels are so light and so under 6.8 kilos, the remaining available grams provide lucrative real estate for advertising bike parts.

    Like, y'know, disc brakes.

    Sagan can wear what he likes and do what he likes 'cos he's just an awesome bike rider; who cares?. In years to come, we'll be looking back at the Sagan era with tears in our eyes and 500 page threads devoted to him.
