Why? That head tube was made from a Carling can.....

carling is rank, but if they started making titanium cans I would buy it.

-17 stem, with a big stack of spacers?

Bored of the matt black stealth look....

2013 needs to be about flouro.

don't even start about that pink bike that did it before it was cool

and odd bar angle/brake positioning.

crap garage door to boot

You right you know.

Fake moldings just don't cut it.

the pathetic frayed bit of rope completely ruins it for me

Is it just me or are really long reach hoods suddenly popular, and also a really bad idea?

How the fuck are you supposed to reach the brakes when you are in the drops on that thing?

Also what is up with that seat clamp?

Shimano hoods are designed with goliath paws in mind, I don't know why.

The new ST-9000 levers are slimmer in profile. The reach is about the same as before.

Is it just me or are really long reach hoods suddenly popular, and also a really bad idea?

Since when that's considered long? it look rather normal unless you're used to seeing compact bar with super short reach and drop.

Look at the reach on an old Rene Herse fixie skidder;

I don't even know what this is for but I want it. It might be better in HHSB...
