This is on its way. I think it looks like brilliant roadie (logos aside).

Look like a failed BMC.

Ed - are you blind?

Not so sure about the front end, it reminds me of Braker's XACD frame.

Dont the new Scotts have that style of front end?

There's plenty of aero road bikes out there these days. I suspect only a few will have the PX price tag (perhaps Boardman).

Looking fast is half the battle*.

(*assuming you're not actually racing your bike)

My BMC is designed with inspiration from the aero properties of a house brick. Yet they get to seattube, and think......hmmm needs a tear drop profile.

Looks good though.

I'm taking comfort from the "blunt/wide is better" theory to which the rim makers are now pretty much all subscribed when it comes to aero- my bike looks to be made from carbon sheet that was formed by wrapping it round a fire extinguisher/drainpipe.

close up photos of that frame on bikeradar made it look like it wasn't finished very well..

I gather it's barely out of the prototyping stage. Road.cc has a better writeup (and actual ride notes).

Frame under 1kg and £700 for F&F seems pretty keen.

does it come blank? :)

Bike + Smallfurry lump = not aero

Great price, and I love the look. Just hope it doesnt have noodle qualities.

Looking fast is half the battle

Planet-X looks like a Chinese carbon shop saw a thumbnail image of a Cervelo S5.

With a bit of Scott.

The S5 is in another league of fast looking-ness.

I'm not a fan of the new PX (above). A Nanolight with bb30 appeals more. Followed to a trip to Argos for some paint.

That S5 is the pig ugliest bike in the world. And it weighs 1.2kg

Thor sized, its a bit weird looking. Porn in Farrars size though.

It's not the ugliest bike I've ever seen - its main problem is it looks much worse than the S3, which was pretty handsome IMO.

think all the Cervelo's look ugly these days.. the paint jobs make them look like cheap Specialized's

Shirley not

Don't you ride a Specialized? ;)

yep... Much prefer S Works to Cervelo..

That's just like saying you prefer Ford to Vauxhall.
