God, I even double checked on imdb. So wine does affect typing.

Go on, buy it. If nobody bought stuff they didn't really need our economy would collapse. I think it's silly when people say "don't buy it unless you're really going to use it". Who cares? Plus you're saving the planet doubly: not only are you riding a bike, which is greener than green, it's got lots of carbon locked up in it, which means there's one less bikes-worth of carbon in the air. For this reason, everybody should buy a carbon fibre road bike. and a pagani zonda. lots of carbon in one of them

Are BMC sure those cranks are going to be stiff enough? They make saint cranks look puny.

Yeah but have you seen those cranks front on? They are THIN!
That's why side-on they look huge, to make up for the skinny front profile.

They could also do with calming down a little with the stickers.

Just because you have tons of space to put them on doesnt mean you have to.

Less is more.........

not too keen on the kerning either

Um.. I know I'm drunk again but are you sure those two comments belong in this thread?

course it does - if i was dropping that kind of cash on the BMC i'd want the typography to be right

something like that on the top tube could put me right off concentrating on my 'aerodynamic' posture

Hippy.

Check the stickers on the BMC. I know if I had imported some swiss TT porn and was riding to work on it I may want people to know, but that BMC is a rolling billboard with the amount of stickers (decals to the posh) on it.

Yeah the geometry is all wrong... the way that a rolls into the c is a safety hazard for any designer attempting to ride it.

but at least its not 'curlz'

Nah.. ya see? I thought this 'sticker' talk was meant to be in the 1lesscar sticker thread! All becomes clear.. and sobriety once again beckons..

I like the time machine on the top, doubt the bike can reach 88 mph though

a rolls into the c? wuh?
erm.. at least that explains why software geeks are faster than designer geeks :P

Who ordered the BMC?

Uh-oh, I'm possibly going to meet some of the Colnago family on Friday. And I have an absolutely horrid feeling that in a fit of over-exuberance I'll leave the shop having ordered one of these:

It's beautiful isn't it.

Let's see if I have what it takes to resist.

Dredge.

This remains the best OTP track bike ever created.

/\
agreed

Any idea where to find one of these?

Nico of Nico's Flying Cycles fame in Seoul and a bloke called Dixon Lau in Hong Kong own c50 Pista's.

Don't bother offering unless you willing to part with crazy cash. They have both turned down 5K offers for this frameset.

Rarest of the rare !!!!

I think Nico's is a 52 cm, too small... Trying to find Dixon.
