Unless it is for aero reasons...I don't see why they couldn't finish it off like the trek...the fork brake setup all fits into place on the trek...the f10 looks like the fork is the wrong way and the just doesn't fit.

 

The little piece behind the seat post looks like they weren't sure if it was gona get a spoiler or should rounded off to blend with the rest of the frame...trek got it right.

 

If I had the Bucks I would be riding a trek like this with sram wireless...just not in red...would go in for a custom spray job.

Agree with you 100%. I don't like the dropped seat stay look that most brands are adopting now. Trek definitely got that right.

 

The bike in the pic does look a bit "af" with that dropped stem. How aero does that guy want to be? It cant be comfortable.

They say on the net that the number 9 has bad luck for business promoting new products in Europe and hence they skipped the number 9. Windows I think followed this as well with Windows 8 to Windows 10

Quite so. The Chinese associate the number 8 with good luck. Back to the F10, me no like it at all. Best thing I can see is that there are no disc brakes on it. Maybe they know something and that something tells them discs won't be on the menu anytime soon. As for the rest of it. "Los hom in die son laat hy revs optel".

The Jewish people associate 88 with Hail Hitler, h being the eighth letter of the alphabet :ph34r:

Eish. It feels like yesterday the F8 was introduced...

 

The manufacturers are moving waaaaaaaay to fast for my taste; build your dream bike today, in a year it'll be old...

It's not like the bike stops performing after a year. I don't really get the CUD thing when it comes to cycling. Wanting something different, I get. Wanting something new because it's the latest model? Nah.

 

Besides, it takes time for new standards to penetrate the market. The way u see it, going for the latest and greatest, typically means you limit yourself in terms of choice.

when i first joined the hub, the pinarello prince was the bike to own.

 

man I still dream of riding a prince one day even though they dont make them anymore (the dogma dont count)

I'm lucky enough to own one....its amazing.

9 = "nein" = "no" in German...apparently
