    Bigla Pro Cycling proving this years kits arent all going to be about the fade, though top pr spin marks for claiming it visually articulates speed, aerodynamics and performance.

    I assume they rode this at the Australian champs but i couldn't find photos. I guess the 'real' one will be a coloured version of this design.

    Nothing staggeringly different, but I like the flat top tube lowered stays and general carboning.

    Horizontal top tube will always be a winner for me

    part of the design. they are proprietary sadly. also according to tour magazine, despite having a sleek look, the discs (and this applies to all disc brake bikes in the test) require more watts to do the same speed compared to the rim brake bikes. no real surprise I guess.

    Cav has had bars designed for him as (apparently) he doesn't ride a bike like other people ???

    Love the matte grey finish. One of the best BMC bikes I have seen (never really been a fan of their range).
    I particularly like the wheels which are seemingly designed with a camouflaged middle rim to the wall behind the bike :lol:

    Comparing this to other bikes, they all do seem to look identical today. Guess the majority of manufacturers have found this design as the most efficient.

    Do they lock out so he can hold a line?

    I remember seeing the BMC goodness in last years TDF. It was the most interesting element of the days faux break.

    Pop these wheels on t'other and all's good. Or at least scrape the logos of the enve wheels.

    Cav has an ultra stiff handlebar that would be far too buzzy for most folk.

    Doesn't he normally do that by using his face as a brake?

    Seems odd to not include any long-sleeve tops in January.

    I don't get it. If education was first wouldn't you be reading books and working out stuff rather than ride a bike for six hours? I don't like the target over the boring EF font either.
