Starvin' Marvin Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 While I see specialized is getting slaughterd for doing a Mclaren bike I came across this. MAde by Beru F1 systems.Runs DI2 (fail) Ceramic disc brakes(can't use in the wet) Weight 7.4kg (fail) Price 21000 pounds sterling at todays exchange rate R231000 Any thoughts
AndreZA Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 And it looks like just another Chinese plastic bike.
intern Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Obviously designed by someone who knows F-all about bicycles..geared for style, not for bike riding....
bontie Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 It is not UCI legal and marketed as a "training tool"It has pretty much integrated everything - Think it is made as a marketing or showpiece bike, although they have sold numbers.The core business of the company is design and manufacturing of carbon bits for F1 and other hi tech industries.
Grebel Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 It was built by F1 designers and their brief was to build a bicycle without being constrained by the general bicycle (read UCI) parameters. Just a few guys trying to be creative in their spare time. I think it is quite nice actually, but then I ride a MTB...
Minion Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 It's also got a whole lot of instrumentation to measure all sorts of stuff while you ride. Unfortunately, it doesn't get any prettier in the flesh:https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/98251-why-dont-road-bikes/page__view__findpost__p__1327295
