    One thing about this is the New Balance logo is really obvious from the front- kinda hard to tell it's a Rapha kit, could forgive a punter for thinking New Balance were the kit suppliers...

    The massive Rapha logos on the shorts...and a cycling ‘punter’ will know that Rapha supply the kit because it’s all over the frickin internet!
    Only on the left arm of the jersey facing outwards though

    It's not just the logo that rapha use its the cuts of the jersey sleeves and the white band on the arm, it's recogniseable as their thing from miles off!!

    To be honest what does it matter if the average punter believes it is a NB kit, if they want to go purchase one they will Google it and there you go.

    Now, to get me one of those hats for the summer hols!!

    Didn't the whole Rapha/pink thing come from their nod to the Maglia Rosa?

    Such a nice bike, shame it's not under a WorldTour team for a bit more exposure. I wonder if Ag2r were just too costly for the brand?

    It's a good point. They are constantly changing their bike supplier (BH, Focus, Kuota, Factor, Merckx, others??) which can't be good for the riders. Bardet wants to win the Tour but needs to improve his TTing, yet they're on Merckx bikes this season. I wonder if they've even got a TT bike?

    Lovely bikes but I’ve never seen anyone actually on one out in the wild.
    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.

    All the more reason for you to get one. I've seen them in the carbon fibre at peak cyclesport in Macclesfield. They're very nice

    Aren't they incredibly expensive?

    About 4.5k I think – but they throw in an integrated Black Inc one-piece bar/stem, Black Inc seatpost, a Fizik Arione R1 saddle, Ceramic Speed BB and some bar tape to soften the blow!

    The 02 is a really nice looking bike though.

    The new Wilier Cento 10 Pro Iride with new 12 speed SRAM Red eTap AXS. The frame is pretty stunning (not sold on the SRAM chainset though)

    Welcome to the world of disposable power meters.

    Cracking paint job though.

    New boardmans out. Look a bit like spesh SL6. Lovely.

    I think the chainset looks badass.

    Same I wish the discs were the same size. Love that bike and more or less everything about Wilier including their factory which I hope to go to v soon and bring a bike back

    Never been keen on the 'dog having a poo' look of the curved top tube, plus it's no Factor.

    one piece chain ring will be $$$ to replace. the paintjob is stunning. having the old version of this bike I have to say, its a wonderful bit of kit.

    Yep, too much going on just to be different. With a brand name like that they've just got to keep it simple.

    freeware font for Eddy Merckx needs to be replaced. otherwise looks pretty nice.
