Alfine?

I vote choad.

got a fetish for red frames, black deep V's and bit of silver

moar

Really struggling to find any more images.

From talking to guy's in Amsterdam and Alkmaar the frames are not available to anyone but the Dutch national squad and some pro teams. In Amsterdam I saw about 15 full bikes of the earlier versions back in 2005 where they had an aero head tube. Really want one to match my road bike now.

chub hubs...still dont understand......

how do they work / you can't explain that etc...

Talking about the Giant?
Strange.
Dutch national squad MUST ride Koga.
Other dutch riders are only allowed to ride other branded bikes (world champs, perhaps word cup, too) in individual disciplines.
Serious issue for riders like Marianne Vos and Annemiek van Vleuten. They also like to be in the team pursuit team for London 2012. Kirsten Wild had to switch to AA Drink team for this reason.

Perhaps those people were talking about RABOBANK riders like Theo Bos. Rabobank is also the sponsor of the national squad, but there is no direct like between the Giant equipped Rabo pro team (Theo Bos, Lars Boom, both interested in team pursuit) and the Koga equipped national squad.

The earlier 2005 version you saw were bikes with ALU frames?
Giant supplied them to BALK, who does the rental bikes in the Amsterdam velodrome.
That were stock frames, nowadays called OMNIUM. I still have one like that, but the M-size is a bit too small for me.

Maybe there should be a thread just for nice bikes? not just bike porn, I'm sure people like to see nice bikes to even if they are not perfect

Dutch, I was kinda surprised to see Teun Mulder riding a LOOK bike for his 1k tt,
he is in the national squid right? But is that because it's an individual number?

Sell it to me.

That Orange CoMotion is probably my favourite bike. There is something ineffably perfect about it. 100% porn to the freakin' max.

i may get told off but i love it

this is not porn
