I doubt that it was an accident. If you go into the detailed history of the two bikes, you may find that they were built for different handlebars. There is a big difference in reach and drop between various bullhorns, especially if you also include chopped and flopped road bars in the equation. Another possibility is that the longer/taller bike was built for tri bars and the short/low one was for bullhorns.

Yet another possibility is that they were built for different distances, as some testers use a more aggressive position for the short events. If these bikes were built for RRA record attempts, the 3h+ of the straight out hundred would be a different challenge than the 40 minute 25!

As a matter of curiosity, why the Cinelli Angels?

Hi mdcc_tester,
I know you're on the TimeTrialling forum too (unless wo people have the same login in the same format), and these two frames were made for Ian Cammish.
Funnily enough the first time Ian ever knew they were a different size was when I broke them down, got the seized components out of the one frame, and then noticed the difference! They were both used with the same bars on them, with the same stem on, so it's beyond Ian's comprehension as well as my own how they ended up so different!

The Angels is simply because I had them in my garage and I always found them comfortable. I love my Bontragers I have on my main TT bike, but to be honest it was going to be pushing the budget too far to stick a £300 set of carbon aerobars on the front of this bike. The welds on the Angels were checked after paint removal so they're all hunky dory, and they're just a nice, stiff, comfortable aerobar........and they look great in yellow!

Muchas better without.

Opinion varies.
If the frame was in stealth black then yes, de-sticker the wheels too. With the frame looking like a billboard, you might as well go the whole team replica hog and carry massive adverts for Campag

Clearly he's not one of those obsessive riders who insists on transferring his set up from one bike to the next with millimetric precision!

If I'd spent that much money on wheels, I would want everyone to know. Logos ftw

Logos ftw

Lightweight.

just sayin'

Spotter is right. Stem is ugly.

flashy

Oz is right. Stem is ugly.

ftfy. Unless you're on about a bike I can't see with comments from Spotter I can't see.

wups!

I wanted to see more about the cinelli laser tandem

Not much but...

True, but I think it breaks it up well. And now you don't have the 2 typefaces clashing either. /aesthetics

Dunno what brand it is but they are really flexy so rattle and bounce around.

Although I admit pink isn't my favourite colour, I've yet to see a Tonic Fab. I don't like, from their street machines a few years ago to what's being built today. Always good lookin'.

Almost perfect, but then white chain deducts all the class it ever had! such a shame.

This is so far from being a classy bike, im not saying it looks bad but deff not classy
