Gumpole Posted July 4, 2007 Share Wheel colour clashes with frame colour, seatpost looks like somebody backed into a garage with bike on a roof rack.Cant believe there aren't much more aero wheels out therecranks? NO for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted July 4, 2007 Share Agree Gummy, those wheels are not cool, for die hard Specialized fans only. But the frameset is NICE. With some Zipp 808's, USE Tula bars & Record components it will rock! The frame has some nice innovation in the chainstay design and also the brakes. Question to bike shop guys (WW, Joss etc): When will these babies arrive in SA, and how much R's??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted July 4, 2007 Share Christie not sure, they will only be launched at Euro Bike in Sept so probarbly early next year i guess. It seems as if the seat post is maulded on skew though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted July 4, 2007 Share I think this is radical and nice to see people designing bikes that are not so mainstream - good on S Worx love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted July 5, 2007 Share Bike cant be UCI legal, front of seat must be 50mm behind bottom bracket center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted July 5, 2007 Share This is not UCI legal but Specialized will also produce a bike with a layback on the seat tube to make it UCI legal, this pic must be for the Tri bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted July 5, 2007 Share I'm in the market for a carbon TT frame, the lower end Transitions (not Sworks) looks like it will fit the budget of R10 to R15k. If they only get here next year, I guess I will be TTing on a Felt.The seatpost does look a bit akward, and they seem to have followed Cervelo with the seatpost/seat tube design (like Pinarello and Orbea also did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerman Posted July 5, 2007 Share Yip,I agree......those wheels look like someone melted a plastic bag where the hubs and spokes meet.........and the seatpost has a funny angle....looks as if it's bent forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
