2023 bikes

just an influencer starting a team

Thread drift but Thomas Mein's champs colourway looked brilliant at Cyclopark yesterday. Interesting that he has twin piston calipers rather than the publicly available RX4s

That just isn't right. I don't care if it's hydroformed in bigger chunks you can't just go throwing ugly welds in arbitrary places.
Smartweld - my arse

Did you tell him he shouldn't be running 1x ?

Ha! It's fine if you have 4 bikes and pit crew for half lap changes

Any other pics? Can't tell much difference from this here angle

A zoomed in pic. Most likely just an X2 caliper with an RX4 inlet and the bleed valve location swapped.

New Cofidis Look prototype is the best looking WT bike I’ve seen so far this season

I really like that. Uber-French, right down to the chainrings! Do you know what the tubs are?

Michelin power cup. I nabbed the photo from the Look insta and there are a couple more photos there

More French goodness. Cheers

@dubtap i think these are T47 bb

It's also a Trek without Di2.

The Di2 version is £1k more and you get a fancy 'cockpit'

I've just been to the dentist, no Palta in 2023.

I have a dentist appointment today where I get the advice with bare min consultation fees and then go to India to do actual dental work.

Don't make it a habit like buying new bikes.

Did you ride/buy one of these in the end? I rode a Diamante SV a while back and it was awesome. I'm thinking of getting an Astra now, also lovely (and much cheaper).

I have tried the old model, as every basso wasn't very light but handling was quick and racey even though it's supposed to be more relaxed. I love the new, non SV diamante, can't afford.
