trompe l'oeil marble effect innit..

The surface finish on those campag cranks is doing my head in. It doesn't look like any of the pictures of unidirectional carbon i can find on google, more like the kind of multi-crystalline effect you get with galvanising, as if they've moved on from fibres to sheets built up from 2d flakes of carbon.

But what exactly are the flakes? I don't think they can be graphene as nobody's worked out how to make that much of it yet? Are the flakes formed from parallel fibres, so the material is a bit like carbon chipboard? Or is it just some cosmetic effect that doesn't tell us anything about the underlying material?

Same as the other Campag crabon cranks I've seen. Google will reveal all.

hog...

niiice

purple nags been here at least 4 times.

Presumably Zipp are quietly sitting back saying "I told you so".

Or their lawyers are sitting forward and saying something else

Or their techy guys are saying ''Why didn't we patent this?''

There are probably patentable elements of the Zipp design, but the general principle of a solid dome "spider" isn't new; Sugino 75 Aero was there long before Zipp

The Campag Bora might be sailing a bit close to a SRAM crank patent I've seen

There is somebody in a local club that has one of these, its exactly the same but with Di2, and when I commented on it, he revealed that it was his winter bike.

His summer bike is the same but in the HTC colours...

So the campag bora ultra cranks are add on to the 11's series?

absolutely lovely

bars match the top tube, long and bendy.

I did like Joaquim Rodriguez Canyon at the end of the Giro today.

I suppose it makes a change to have it's 94th repost here rather than in anti

But the Cervelo P5 is 1.5s/km quicker :-)

'zactly.
