[Closed] Look! No, really, Look!

😯

I presume there's more space than appears between what seems to be the stem and the frame?

welcome to last week, cap'n.

Wrong even if it is slammed

Again!

Was this on last week? Sorry if it was! I was in Germany, where it's still the 1980s. 🙂

Groundhog Bike?

I'm not sure whether or not to be happy that Pronghorn's crown of Fugliest Bike In Christendom has so spectacularly been lost. But then I also have a Look, so I guess it's cool. It's a Look road bike though, and they are fairly sexy.

think it was more like last month 😉

😳

I was in Asia last month, and either working too hard or drinking too hard......

Oh, the shame, the shame..... I have posted something out of date! I shall immediately say twenty hail Zak Tempests and don my hair Bula hat 😉

Well I like it. Wish I had the legs/lungs for it.

I missed the thread too, anyone got linky?

I like it

i suppose i can see how some people can get excited by the way it looks (no pun intended), but...

it even annoys me a little; it's style over substance, it's the same suspension design adopted by kona/turner/scott/etc/etc when they weren't allowed to use the horst link anymore.

so it's a cheapskate design, but dressed up in glitter, and they'll charge thousands.

and we all go 'whooo' admiringly.

it's all very clever.

Nice, very nice ... err, what is it? 😐

I didn't see last week either. Shame id like to have not seen it this week too.

I opened this nearly an hour ago and I still can't find the words to express what I want to say...

That is fantastic.

I actually think that with the right paint job that would look fantastic.
what's in Rorschach's pic?

A Mondraker, iirc.

what's in Rorschach's pic?

Famous artist, he does loads of abstract pictures of mutilated bodies and the like.

I like it, looks purposeful.

I love these new headtube designs, for the proper forced slam. They look so fast, and so smooth. Reminds me of the jaguar logo/badge

My only question is if you do have a crash, then through the bars, you may have a lot of leverage between the stem and the frame. Same as a double crown fork, except much worse, and with a much weaker frame. So what gets wrecked, the frame or the stem? Or both?

Think the streamlined/integrated look works better on road bikes.
Nice bike except for the hunchbacked stem integration.

Well, someone is thinking beyond BNG and 'more travel / wider / must be this years buy' and actually trying stuff out...

The white one is a Mondraker Podium and previous thread is [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/new-look-full-sus-my-eyes-hurt-kinda-hate-but-love-it-too ]here.[/url]

Straight = light, cheap, strong. Kinked gives more chainring clearance, hence drive side is kinked whilst non drive side is straight. Simples.
