gummibear Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Are they trying to rejuvenate the aluminium frame? Peter Sagan to race alloy frame and tubeless tyres.Three-time world champion to race Allez Sprint Disc frameset at Down Under Classic.
Jewbacca Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Maybe they are actually closet BikeHub users and are answering the thread 'Should I upgrade to carbon wheels or carbon frames'? It is the Tour Down Under.... It will be interesting to see if they race them at real bike races......
gummibear Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Sagan took second in the sprint. Would he have won on a carbon frame

Thought the same when I saw that, next thought was when will they start using 2x or 3x by their mtb’s#canalwaysdream
Mongoose! Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Might be a carbon frame with glued on plastic "welding's" for marketing purposes.
sluiper Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I think someone once said it's not about the bike?
BaGearA Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 PR stunt to generate some hype for alloy bikes since Jap and Chinese manufacturing costs are sky-rockting this year and bike prices will follow suit and its not like carbon is getting cheaper ...maybe thats just me

It is just that they normally spec the Ali bikes with lower spe heavier components. We'll that is my take.

intern Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I think someone once said it's not about the bike? In this case, it is all about the marketing.
Nibali Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Might be because the Allez is marketed as their crit bike and this was a crit race?
Headshot Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 This bike weighs less than his carbon bike... alloy frames are also made in China so manufacturing costs will go up for them too. PS.. I hear the UCI will shortly prescribe steel only road bikes for all grand tours.
Duane_Bosch Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Forget the material. Look at that thing. It's beautiful!
