bleedToWin Posted August 19, 2022 Share I'm not immediately convinced by the purple "black current / chrome" colour, but it might grow on me... The "airglow" looks hot, but I wont be able to afford that bike. Love to dream, but hey love my current propel, and would love to stay on brand. 😀 Mopkop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warick_wrx Posted August 19, 2022 Share Nothing different here when compared to current line up of numerous other manufactures aero offerings. Almost a case of same frame different badge with one or two subtle changes and watt savings. Jakkals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually one model in the line up with mechanical shifting. It's a schlep, but still manageable DIY yes. Some tight bends along the way though. waveduke and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJuice Posted August 22, 2022 Share Sort of related. When reading the article, could not help but recall the memories of my Giant TCR Aero with Mike Burrows seat post. Sadly Mike passed recently. https://cyclingtips.com/2022/08/mike-burrows-was-much-more-than-just-a-legendary-bicycle-designer/ It is om to do list to clean the "old" bike, named the Black Widow, and post some pics here. My parents went to great lengths to buy this bike for me, was 5xtimes the value of our family car and old 84 VW Passat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
