Bike porn

I personally like that frame (and lots of other IF frames) a lot. The carbon/Ti tubes look rad, nice colour decals and the little crown lug bits where the tubes meet look good. When you see them built they usually follow the same formula though, i.e put the most expensive stuff you can find on it, which definitely isn't the recipe for bike porn.

Looks a bit better like this?

I can see why some people wouldn't like them I guess..

The Essex garden doesn't help.

Is this the mixte?

Not really, the gold anodized long cage mod to the Di2 mech, paired with the dinner plate cassette and compact crankset, is the main problem. The "matching" bottle cage and Chris King is not helping either.

As Sanddancer said in fewer words.

Me gusta Jambon's Pinarello big time!

^ QR skewers on the wrong side

^I like that,it certainly looks light.Just out of curiousity what would that weigh approx, and can the Lightweight logos be removed?

Saw this and thought of Sumo, non drive-side i know but it's awesome.

Who needs kids anyway?

Saw this in msac, in Melbourne. Loads of really nice bikes around this part of the world, but this Kennedy track frame caught my eye. Immaculately welded Ti, aero profile seat-tube with cut-away for clearance, really nice, solid looking track-ends. I'd be really interested to see how it rides on the track.

Melbourne...Kennedy...can only mean one thing.

Fixed again.

That burn doesn't burn so good when you don't embed the image properly but thanks for trying.

5.8kg. I don't think the Lightweight logos are stickers so removal wouldn't be straight forward, though I might be wrong I've never seen a set in the wild.

Won't they just look like Oriental Express rims if you take the crappy letters off?

Exactly, they'd look better.

For what it's worth, if it wasn't for the curved seat stays (hate, hate, hate them on any frame - curving in any direction) I'd absolutely love one of those IF frames.

Who needs kids anyway?

Actually, Roberto Chiappa has two kids, Devlyn and Moorea.
Wiki or other sources do not mention possible other kids outside his marriage.

Is this the mixte?

Yep.

Here's a nice studio shot.

Such a nice frame. Such a shame.

what? rim brakes in the back and cable disc in the front? did they run out of money?

well, those forks dont come cheap. EBB?

I prefer my mate's one frankly;
