Here.

Open admission that Pinarello is to be considered a fashion accessory / status symbol. I think I'll go for the Lizardskin with Di2

    Lizardskin? I think they will more likely come with Leopardskin bar tape and crushed velvet saddle fabric. TBH, who cares who owns them? I don't think they will be given free licence to start changing them aesthetically. Its just a business buying up another to further profits. They will no doubt release a few fancy boutique bikes for the urban market but then most top bike brands do already.

    They can't make them any uglier can they?

    It is the LVMH Group. If you look they own stuff from DFS to Tag and then the fashion brands. Plus a whole lot more in between.

    Good news for team Sky as they'll probably all be getting nice new free LV hand bags.
    Faster than a tent.......
