2023 bikes

On the lack of new bikes issue, where are big boys like Specialized with release schedules?

Are 2023 bikes arriving in actual 2023 instead of the autumn prior? I haven't seen any previews etc. anywhere yet either.

I think the traditional 'release at grand tours' model is now obsolete, they have to now align to alt-events and teams; gravel and legion etc. The next big release for them is Globe I think.

Yeah I had a feeling they would go into mtb. Cervelo and Santa Cruz are owned by the same conglomerate PON holdings. I think they are still managed independently but when Reserve Wheels branched out away from the Santa Cruz names and started appearing on Cervelo road bikes, it seemed like a sign of things to come.

When you want to slam that stem but also your back hurts

Aero for Freds, like 1 scoble of drop

Air intakes on the head tube?

Cervelo was iconic

It’s an abomination but at least it looks happy

wtf is this?

Bike companies need to stop

Or be stopped, whichever is cheapest

Please, somebody find a 2023 bike that doesn't look abysmal

Struggling !

Scott foil, Canyon Ultimate, Giant Propel, Factor Ostro Gravel, Basso Diamante, BMC Kaius.

I for one and thrilled that positive-angle stems are coming back into vogue.

Another proprietary thing to toss into a landfill when it wears out.

In dire need of bdhu, that’s what it is.

Anybody?

Oh well
