I like it. It looks crouched and skulky

I think we can forgive the OP for posting this, bearing in mind the cryptic title of the other thread.

A nicer photo and angle, too. I like it and (if funds permitted) would buy one just to hang on the wall as it looks much faster and meaner in Cav's size than it would in (several sizes larger) mine.

I appear to be the only person who likes the look of it.

Don't be so needy. I've already said I like it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The brakes are a pretty impressive design.

It reminds me of two things. A very futuristic batmobile type thing. And aging-Hollywood-a-bit-too-much-plastic-surgery type things. The former is good but the latter interrupts this. I don't know what to think.

Well they certainly beat that repeatedly with the ugly stick!

And given their record with the previous venge, it will be awful until mcclaren fix it for them!

Sounds like it'd be a very small, exclusive club! 8)

Sorry Flashy I didn't realize that other thread was about this bike. I didn't bother reading that thread as from the title I thought it was about XC racers using riser bars inverted to get even lower front positions. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

looks a bit like a flash road bike, bit like loads of other road bikes look, if I'm honest I can't really tell them apart they all look the same to me ๐Ÿ˜‰

a little tongue in cheek but the UCI have made sure that the you can do very little with the design of a road bike

Much prefer this

Only 196gm over the UCI limit out of the box with clinchers, bit of Pro tinkering would soon have down to 6.8kg
