Jewbacca Posted January 13, 2019 Share 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...... jcza, gummibear, Andrew_Smith and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted January 13, 2019 Share Sagan took second in the sprint. Would he have won on a carbon frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the same when I saw that, next thought was when will they start using 2x or 3x by their mtb’s#canalwaysdream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose! Posted January 13, 2019 Share Might be a carbon frame with glued on plastic "welding's" for marketing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted January 13, 2019 Share 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 Mongoose! and Me rida my bicycle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just that they normally spec the Ali bikes with lower spe heavier components. We'll that is my take. intern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibali Posted January 14, 2019 Share Might be because the Allez is marketed as their crit bike and this was a crit race? RossW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted January 14, 2019 Share 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. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
