Let's just take a moment to remember that this bike costs £25,000 and weighs 9.5kg. And then agree never, ever to post it in this thread again.

Why the non-driveside disc on the front?
Not that it is in any way aesthetically displeasing taking the rest of the bike into consideration.

I know, I've always been an admirer of Paddy Considine, and the 'tache just adds something even more special.

Everytime i see him i just think of that part in the film Bourne Ultimatum,where he gets "whacked" in Waterloo station.

Aston Martin's first foray into bicycle manufacture was the 1994 Aston Martin pursuit bike built for Tony Doyle to do a series of demonstration rides in North America to promote the DB9. It was essentially a Chas Roberts frame shrouded in carbon fibre to give teardrop sections to the downtube and seat stays. The rear of the seat tube was also profiled to wrap around the rear wheel. In addition it had a monobladed front fork and a bespoke aero section seatpost and stem. The wheels were Specialized DuPont tri spokes.In my honest opinion, its modern counterpart is certainly a bit of a let down in comparison.

Doesn't this one exist merely to fiddle their overall CO2-emissions-per-vehicle figures, without them even having to do any engineering? Fiddling £25k a pop out of a few millionaires is a bonus.

I have an old Tony Doyle bike.
Sadly it is just an Ammaco 4130. -

Ghibli should stay on the wannabe Pinarello and the Colly should stick to the Shamals. Not nearly as good the other ways. IMHO
