2018 Gear

m.r.m.

Colnago paint jobs are just marvelous! Could use a few more Art Decor versions. Love the blue one though.

Much as I love Campag... eTap is the future.

Shame...I am off to Vicenza tomorrow, so I won't bother to pick anything up for you if I pass the factory!

Show off!!!

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.

"Keep going driver...I have it all and Dish is after etap now..."

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:

For clarification, we were in a range rover hybrid campagnolo slowing down for the photo opportunity...the Skoda yeti etap was struggling to keep up!

m.r.m.

That Skoda probably drafted illegally.

A few years ago, Cervelo were really pushing the boundaries. Now they're producing stuff like this.

Talk about vanilla!

I think it looks quite smart. Is it me (@ inseine) or are manufacturers repeatedly shortening wheel bases?

That's a really nice colour scheme.

Has a bit of this about it

I don't know, but i quite like what they're doing with gravel bikes to shorten the wheelbases within the challenges of wide tyres (dropped chainstays). I've got the same challenges with Bosch electric motors :shock:

The serious point is that, whatever people might personally want, electric bikes are going to be huge and in some countries already are.

James Huang tweeted only yesterday, some industry projections are that 70% of mountain bike sales in 2018 will be eBikes... 70%!

Well, I know a couple who go out pedalling quite often (mid 50's perhaps). He rides an old hack. He's lean and pedals like he's done it a while and she (who's podgy) rides with him on an ebike.
Whilst it's obvious that it should be the other way around, I suppose it gets people who wouldn't ordinarily ride together given their differing abilities.

Careful, Pinarello got into trouble for that kind of marketing.

Factor twin tube is back. Oliver Naesen has been racing one apparently.

No. Just no.

If Colnago couldn't make it work aesthetically, then you're up against it. Nice colour that, though.

I did something similar. I've loved dark metallic red since the Saronni Colnago days.

Yes ^. How about this for a paint job?

Gorgeous. My dream bike ( or possibly the Zabel Miram blue, also gorgeous)

That is a Colnago dream resprayed for a guy on this very forum.

If that had Michelin on it then it would be perfect!
