2018 bikes ( warning - bouncy pyjama bike content! )

They're here...

Well, one of them anyway.

2018 Santa Cruz Nomad

Specialized 'Merz edition' Sequoia

New Nomad looks rad as hell! I've still got a Nomad 1 and love it to bits so I can only imagine how good this is!

Lets hope that the hubs have better sealing and the BB has a way of allowing water out on that one.....
My Sequoia has been hung in the garage, minus the front wheel, while it gets a warranty replacement.

Wow. A Cervelo S5.

Anyone know when the 2018 cannondale synapse will be available in the UK? Especially the ladies di2 one!

Any reason not to buy a Spesh Allez Elite (I'll get it for below rrp), 105 11 spd, DT Swiss r460 rims, will take 28mm tyres, full carbon fork, and the possibility of red hook colour way that looks a bit full on?

Anything from Canyon?

Imminently according to their twitter feed

Anything from Canyon?

I hear they are doing a full range of black bikes in the wrong size this year.

Really big bike, or ridden by bloke with really little Arse?

Aerobikes must die

I rather like that!

I like this a lot, if I ever felt the need for a road bike again Id get this.

if I ever felt the need for a road bike again

You've got a while before middle-age, I think.

31 in Feb, prime buying time.

New monster cross Fugio is nice too

650x50c!

I can't help but feel the TdF flat bar missed a trick by not having hydro brakes

Its one of the big advantages of having a tourer with flat bars.

And they clearly used me for inspiration for the new Brixton

This tho

Look at weights and prices, its nice, but not worth it for most needs.

Looking nice but wondering how the weight ends up so high, from their website:

3.28 incl Collar/Headset/Front Axle/Rrear Axle

Being generous with the weights for the above and the forks puts the frame at about 2.5kg. Seems quite high (think my Road Logic is about 2kg).

3.28kg for a steel frame(set) is believable
