Drool dribble drool

First look: Look 2009 road bikes | BikeRadar Gallery

[Valiant]

That bike looks like it was meant for me!

[Andrew Br]

Did anyone else think, first look, "Blimey, that must have been some impact" ?

[Frenchie]

Wow! Unconventional but mean and fast looking.

[Charlotte]

You couldn't even fit raceblades...

I don't think they'll be marketing it as a commuter machine.

Absolutely. The crossbar just looks wrong

[pumpkin]

What is it about the 'melted' look. De Rosa did it with the Merak and Pinarello with the fork/seatstays. Is it becuae they can or is there a technical b*******ss] reason. The bike also looks v.v.v uncomfortable but if it was handed to me I'd be thrashing down the road with a grin on my face

[clarion]

Is it brokened?

[Gus]

Is it brokened?

Looks like it 
I can't use it, I'll never be able to reach the pedals and sit on the saddle at the same time.

[Mr Larrington]

Ugh

[cometworm]

now I have to start doing either TTs or triathlons to justify buying the bike... oh well.

Exactly what I'm doing (not this particular bike though!), but it'll be next year before I get to do a TT so I'll have plenty of time to get used to it beforehand.

Might have to delay the purchase a few weeks though. It may not look good to splash out £1300 on a bike for myself just before Mrs G's birthday.

[redshift]

Ugh

+1

Glad it's not just me that thought 'what an ugly heap of sh...'

[Regulator]

It's fugly   

[Valiant]

How much is it?
