swift Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 The BH Global Concept G5: BH d?buts the bike that will revolutionize the market The Dauphin? Liber? will be the definitive test for the BH G-5, the latest road bicycle developed by BH and soon to be officially presented at both the professional cycling and commercial levels. For the time being, it is still a prototype, but we will now be able to see the great potential of this bike, fully conceived and developed by BH at its facilities in Vitoria (Spain) and the U.S. This new model represents a radical, revolutionary leap forward in the quality and concept of road cycling frames, and will take top place in the range of bicycles made by the international manufacturer BH: a 100% carbon frame that incorporates all of the latest technical advances in road bicycle design. The ?field test? for this new prototype at the highest level of professional competition will be led by the UCI ProTour and BH-sponsored team AG2R La Mondiale, and the field itself the prestigious Dauphin? Liber?, the preview to the Tour de France, which kicked off this Sunday. The French squad will have BH?s latest creation underfoot and the opportunity to push it to the max and check out ?in situ? the spectacular evolution of the Global Concept, prior to its official premiere at the 2009 Tour de France. The cycling world?s most important event will also witness the d?but of what will surely be the most important road bicycle model of 2009. At this year?s Dauphin?, all eyes will be on Lavenu?s squad, and even more so, on the new bicycle ridden by the AG2R La Mondiale team: the new BH G5. The bicycle of the future is here and getting its d?but in one of France?s greatest events. For more information, go to: www.bhbikes.com This is a 'teaser' photo the BH sent us. Watch the Dauphin? Liber? and see if you can spot it...

Jules Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Looks very nice but what is the point of the funny shape of the downtube?
Eugene Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 BH colour schemes have always been too "busy." This one really looks nice. Obviously way out of my price range/league. When will the more affordable Speedrom get the same paint designs?
Rocket-Boy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Forgive me for asking, but what makes that so "revolutionary"? Its nice to look at and all and pretty aero etc but its not that diff from the rest of the stuff.

Its nice to look at and all and pretty aero etc but its not that diff from the rest of the stuff.[/quote'] Your forgiven... LOL No, on a serious note, there are certain criteria on/in a frame design that frame companies are always trying to improve. How do you make a frame stiff, yet comofrtable? Aero dynamic, yet sleek and light? Light, yet very strong? Good all rounder, and not just a good climber, sprinter, or aero...? Then there are new materials, new resins, moulding processes... etc. The other thing is the direction of going with BB30. It's been around for years, but frame companies have not all bought into fully, until now it seems... It makes sense to me in terms of structural strength and power transfer, etc. We have not had the full write-up on all of this yet, but when i get it, i will try and answer this question with a bit more substence... Plus, i'll do it when i got a bit more time to spare

When will the more affordable Speedrom get the same paint designs? Wat's too busy about this?? The full carbon speedrom: But as soon as we have the rest of the 2010 proposed range, i'll show you.
