carlo_sg Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 The Light weights on the milram bike are actually clinchers' date=' But man I would take any bike from this lot!!![/quote'] Are you serious? Didnt know they made clinchers...Where's Merckx, he knows all about those FOCUS frames
101SCC Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Yup, the have a standard 'C' version. Not sure if that's them but they do have a carbon clincher.
American Flyers Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Why do most teams use "white" colour frames?
101SCC Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 white is the new black! Saw a De Rosa on the weekend Silver (chrome) beautiful...raw carbon is so last season....
javadude Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 The Light weights on the milram bike are actually clinchers' date=' But man I would take any bike from this lot!!![/quote'] Even the clinchers weigh only 1150g's. There is no way that Focus is on the weight limit as it stands there, they must surely add weight to it in some way.
Nialls101 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 The Cannondale looks sick! I'm all carboned out now.
Piesang Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Lets see how many true Lance fans are out there...quick question...what does the 1274 on Lance's bike stand for?First correct person wins a box of smarties
blingking Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 wow:) what would an average joe pay for any of those guys? upwards of 60k i imagine??
Piesang Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 the days since he last raced That would be correct! You are our lucky winner for tonight

If you want a lesson in great Brand Building Mr Armstrong go introduce yourself to Valentino Rossi (I doubt he'll charge you a R1,000,000 for the hour) he'll teach you a thing or two about image (He owns 46 and THE DOCTOR) there's a real champion.

But as for me I couln't be more happy to see the man back on a bike, even if it is a ugly bike. To me he will always be a legend and a real champion.
101SCC Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 By the way, back to the thread the TIME, RIDLEY and Cannondale are wickedly good looking, FOCUS looks incredibly light and Racey...Specialized, well they Look Specialized...LOOKS are always beautiful bikes...strange no italian favourites De ROSA and COLNAGO or Mr Merckx. before I get nailed i know Merckx is Belgian and not Italian!101SCC2009-01-28 14:37:18
javadude Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 before I get nailed i know Merckx is Belgian and not Italian! But his carbon frames are in fact manufactured in Italy, unlike most of the big Italian brands.
intern Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 The Leakygas Cannondale gets my vote although the Quick Step rig looks almost exactly the same as mine...
