    50's are barely deep section imho. Almost all bikes look better with them. And you are correct. :wink:

    I don't mind. Always willing to be convinced of the other. The preponderance of 50+ mm wheels seem to indicate, most people think they match bikes the best (all things considered). So, get off my lawn! :D

    Rotor hydraulic groupset. I find it hard to get over the huge headtube on that frame;I'm sure the brake levers are higher than my saddle.
    Anyway a bit of a pointless group apart from the fact that, if you believe then, it's amazingly light. 800g less than Dura ace!

    Yep. Apart from weight I can't see the attraction. And reading the review it sounds pretty horrible to use...

    frame looks nice but needs a respray already.
    WTF is going on with all the spacers, did they lend it to manc33?

    You could just give it one of your mud-baths to exfoliate it. wrap it in gaffer tape and it'll look great.

    At least the snot rockets will get lost if they happen to land on the paintwork.

    Not a colour for hangovers is it?

    I like the Celeste blue and white but at least De Rosa seems to be turning out classy looking rides.
    I'm seriously tempted but the price tag for a frame alone is in the £3k mark and Evans have sold out of them.
    (Not that I was looking).

    I might paint my fake deroso ribble. Anythings got to look better than the bare carbon. Although no one notices it in the bike compound at work, which is good.

    I could paint my Wilier. What a good idea.

    Careful how you ask for that one.

    If it was they were just copying Chryslers 1970 colour range which also included Go Mango, Top Banana and Sublime. Those were the days

    That's what I thought but thinner obviously. My mate had one. He snapped it so they sent him another one He snapped it. Then he bought Dawes Galaxy. Which was odd
