    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.

    To be fair, I suppose you just wear what the sponsor tells you to. Even if they do look like those sunglasses old people wear over their glasses!

    I've read something similar too.

    Reminds me of the 80s when riders used to wear ski masks !

    From what I can tell:

    Direct mount only for caliper brakes (SRAM recently released a DM brake, I think)
    No longer making 'traditional' shaped frames
    Integrated/proprietary seatpost
    Lighter than C60

    If it had "specialized" painted on the said everyone would be saying how bad it is.

    Looks to me like a cross between a C60 and the VR.
    I find those plain black/coloured lugs paint schemes pretty boring.
    Weird headtube lug. Maybe more aero?
    Interesting they've modelled it with eTap to hide where all the cables would go as opposed to the purist Campagnolo.
    Shame there's no more traditional shapes as I much prefer them (esp vs that first picture).
    I imagine they've learned a lot from the VR series and the Concept and I bet it rides like a dream but these first pics don't really do it for me. Ok, maybe pic 2 does!

    Where did the C61, C62 and C63 go?!

    Such a pity it isn't adorned with Campag.

    I would recommend a wonderful cheap lunch spot I went to on honeymoon, but they had cameras in because, after 150 years, it was about to shut down.

    :D:D:D pursued by a skoda...

    I felt justified in my statement when my local bike shop informed me that Campag have upped their prices by 20% recently, then they told me how much etap costs! :shock:
