2009 Bikes - Bloody Nora!

pretty dedicated photoshop though. They even tightened the angle of the headtube reducing the clearance between the front wheel and frame, and lowered the stupid seatpost. And levelled the drops. :)

I prefer the previous Bianchi Pista concept. Not feeling the integrated seatpost

in the pics before Fuji=Bianchi, same wheels, same seatpost-tube, same geometry

whoops, didn't look closely enough

I don't understand the TK3, it's the TK2 of the last couple of years, but a whole 2 pounds heavier (and probably for the same price). The TK3 looks have grown on me, although I do prefer the look of traditional round tubes, but I'm not the type to pay huge sums of cash for a tired old kerin bike, that's just nuts. Plus I'm looking for a new rig to do double duty, race and errands, so I actually want an alu bike. Probably go with the fuji comp, looks like the old pro, but somehow better (maybe the top tube joins the seat tube a little better) plus it's only a grand ($) The graphics are better than ever before on the fuji track rigs, but wtf on the pro seat tube, I've heard of taking a hacksaw to carbon but alu?

The return key is your friend.
Get to know him.
Please.

I really like the Giant Bowery actually, it's not in the least bit ugly when you think about how straightforward it is to simply change a couple compound and it'll look right as rain (especially the saddle and the stem for instance as mentioned).

I just realise the Bowery came with a chain tugs, did anyone notice that?

its very very clearly photo-shopped. come on people, read the comments and pay attention!

p.s well done though

i like this 1

The chain stay angle is orrible

this just made me laugh

chavenger

the stem, bars and saddle on that Giant are gross. not a real brooks i take it.

I'd have that Curbside f+f as a year-round, mudguarded, fixed road bike. None of the other components, obviously.

Re: bowery

I was just sick in my mouth. WTF?

About the Bianji Pista Pro

+1. asm is right. they even went to the effort of p'shopping the cranks lettering to a different colour.
I think it is more likely that they are made by the same taiwanese firm, and rebranded- my vote is for the Fuji, I fucking hate celeste.

, I fucking hate celeste.

I'm not that keen on Daphne either...

ace.

I'm not that keen on Daphne either...

Ooh, stick you.

Giant have cheekily asked an extra 50 squid, for changing the handlebars, and adding an orange strip of paint to the standard Bowery.
Thats the new 2009 edition.

All I can say is HA HA HA!!!

I've just seen what is to be the new Cannondale Capo 2009. Its all pastel grey, lilac, and maybe it even smells of lavender??

I bought one of the last Capo 2008, and I'm so glad I did. Red and white beats lilac and such mularkey anytime.

I think its horrendous. But then, maybe I'm blind.

Handlebars - WTF?

Who in Cannondale's marketing and design department thought............
