If wan Crabon, Cube Agree Ultegra Di2 is £2.5k

Be good to see it in a proper size so the head angle and head tube length are more balanced.

ooh I like that. Could be good if the price is right

Cable guides and a derailleur hanger too. Versatile.

I wonder if the back is 130mm spaced?

Canyon y u no file those welds like you do when you pretend sponsored riders are on crabon frames.

Not sure they do. The 9 speed stuff used to, I mix them myself. But the new 10speed MTB stuff has some special actuation. Dont really know much about it. Convervsly Sram have moved there 10 speed stuff in line. So you can mix and match their 10 speed. Sweet.

I plan to runs a SRAM TT900 lever, with a XO short cage mech. Should be nice.

I sometimes fantasize about a ti touring frame with sram s900 leavers/TT shifters as barends and a xx long cage.

With a wide cassette, and slightly smaller rings upfront, I'd guess it would work instead of a triple...the only thing is what''s the point.

I've beaten to shite out off my DA TT shifters. Running them on off-road, through winter etc. They have never skipped a beat. I can change as many gears as I want, and can feel which gear I am using/entering with my hand. MTB rear mechs have a shed load more durability designed into them too.

I am now replacing a broken crankset. My do-all bike will now have MTB mechs + cassette, compact road chainset, and TT shifters. A mess of components which I bet will work solidly through abuse.

That looks ace! Really minor niggle is that the font of the writing on the top tube looks like it came from MS word.

fi real? Why do they do that? Are the Alu frames just better/stiffer?

Pearson... wow... they've spent a bunch (or not enough!) on a reinvigorating the brand...

from road.cc

*The 10 Goal is designed for bicycle polo but, as there isn’t a great deal of that about, it’ll also be used as a general urban machine. You get rear-facing dropouts for running it fixed/singlespeed and a distinctive curved seat tube. The frame will set you back £249 and a typical build from about £599 – although you can spend a bit more and pimp it up if you like.

I went to see this in Pearsons shop in East Sheen. It is very nice. Want!

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....

Everythings so darn light these days, that the increase in weight of a alu frame, over a carbon frame. Still barely breaks the UCI limit. Given that you have to ride top of the range groupsets, and want the lightest wheels possible. I guess it makes sense to just ride alu.

Not sure how much Gilbert is concerned with vertical compliance, compared to C+ testers.

^ ooh. Thanks Pifko.

#orders alu canyon

Allows for custom geo and tweaking special frames for Paris Roubaix etc.

Phil Gil did most of 2010 on the Ultimate F8 AL and Greipel was on something similar at Flanders this year. Giveaway is the cable stops on the heatube where all their carbon offering have them on downtube.
