Dunno, modern styling for performance aside.

It still looks to me like someones tried to hop a large kerb and got it badly wrong bending the fork and squashing the chain ring.

Nothing wrong with this at all.

Red seatpost and yellow decal is no no.

Plus the yellow reflection on the wheels looks like it's like the old carbon that been left in the sun too long.

Not sure you're following the logic of the build.

Nothing wrong

Everything wrong. The only thing separating it from the kind of revolting mamil chariots which plague Surrey on any Sunday is that it will be ridden by somebody who actually knows what he is doing.

the logic

Sucking up to the Spanish is all very well, but it would have been much better if they had used green decals to troll Matteo Trentin :)

Trentin can still take the jersey today right?

Are you still drunk from last night? That thing is horrible. Black seatpost, saddle, cables, bartape and a better choice of bottle cage might improve it. Also is that a gold front mech or just the reflection?

Trentin can still take the jersey today right?

Only by winning the intermediate sprint and the final. That's a big ask from a non-specialist in what is likely to be a full peloton gallop. He does have the advantage of a strong and well disciplined team in a field more or less devoid of world class sprinters, but he'll still need some luck, especially if Sky try to throw a spanner in his works as they should.

I like it! It's like a classic cannondale.

Which is exactly why it ended up here :)

Credit where it's due though, at least the CAAD4 doesn't require eye bleach when it's built and painted nicely, whereas that Pinarello would be a dog's dinner in any colorway

This is awesome?

Do you not think it's a little too matchy?

Cranks and seatpot massively anti.

Bar tape would be fine on a less pimped up ride, but to use it to match that frame makes it anti.

No. It's awesome.

Are tri bikes cheating?

No, because that is absolutely, unequivocally horrible

@Carlooooo
