2012 Bikes

I notice that the new charge plug are now not only have skinner tubing (skinner tubing), but are double butted instead of plain gauge, despite having a quill stem.

have you seen their rando/tourer type machine ed? think you might like it....

I still bet a load of rich amateurs with weak little legs splurge a little of their wealth on these, when the money could be spent to better effect in various other areas.

If they also spend on trick wheels, wind tunnel sessions, coaching and 3-week spring training camps, your problem with them comes down to envy :-)

Don't think I have, you don't mean the filter do you?

its a long shot but does anyone know any kind of release date for the scissor v3? gonna use it as my winter bike. it may be a stupid question but does the fact that its a 2012 bike mean it will actually come out in 2012 or is it like the 2012 "season" which starts soon?

Well, they're apparently ready to be ordered from Evans (21 days mean coming from the manufacturer rather than their warehouse).

you mean a pre-order?

has this been here?

Group: Campagnolo Veloce CX 10x
Bar/stem: 3T The 31.8
Bike ribbon: Cinelli cork
Seat post: Cinelli Vai 31.6
Wheels: Campagnolo Khamsin Cyclo X
Tyres: Vittoria Cross XG Pro
Saddle: Selle Italia X1

That must be a shop build with that crappy and obsolete 3T stem.

Pretty tempted by a BMC Mass Challenge, no doubt it will be speny though

I started typing how I thought a % of these used will be put to good use, but hoped you'd assume I recognised their benefit to elite athletes, along with other serious racers as well... But I still bet a load of rich amateurs with weak little legs splurge a little of their wealth on these, when the money could be spent to better effect in various other areas.

It's a tester and triantelope thing as they're anti-social buggers ;) Most amateur road and track riders don't bother with one as they train in groups most of the time anyway

you mean a pre-order?

I want one, but you seen the fucking price?!

Also this looks a world of fun.

Well I was thinking, for the price of one of them you could probably afford coaching, gym and training camps.... I know which would have more effect on my riding!

fair one.

Thing is, a lot of those overpaid MAMILS do all of the above as well as spending shit loads of money on SRMs, Zipps, Cervelos etc.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. I've just been riding with a bunch of Deloitte employees on their Cervelo 'winter' bikes. Nice guys.

I like the paint on the Cinelli, but is already old in it's design, and will probably be overpriced.

I'd rather have this Giant. Unassuming to look at, but the mutts nuts if it's as good as the 2011 bike.

will probably be overpriced

That build is £1399 at Wiggle, or £1,119.99 if you use the current 20% promo code

I think you pay for the novelty of owning a Cinelli.

You can pick up a 2011 Caadx with 105 for £800 at the moment which is a bargain.

Blue fatty — new Commencal Meta AM. One of the most elegant AM fullies.

Wow.

Are the bars set up correctly on the Cinelli?

I ask because I have some Ritchey ones that have the same bend, but the rough section where the lever band is meant to grip the bars is at the first bend of the drop, if that makes sense, which would mean that the levers on the Cinelli would be mounted above the rough section.

Complete cransket including SRM unit went for £256 on eBay on Monday, if you had a BB30 frame that is.

Hollowgram cranks, axle assembly, spider, head unit, blah blah.

And you didn't buy it?

I went for a run during the final 30 minutes of the auction- an effective method of making sure I did not weaken and purchase it.

I'm disappointed in you.
