I think you’d be mad to ride it without aero data. That front end is definitely different.

The front brake disc also!

Saddle looks as if it’s totally integrated doesn’t it?

LOLZ!

The rear end is almost completely conventional, then they’ve gone to town on the front end with a mass of edges and angles that are surely less aero than a single smooth structure.
I like different but there has to be at least some rationale for it, this looks like different for different sake, just look at that front caliper with no fork leg to shield it for example.

That front end looks like a rose pergola.

New TT bike for @Poet then. He can match the roses to his kit :wink:

That’s just the light and image.
It’s a silver disc with black details inside

Even if the front end is strong enough, will it be stiff? I imagine that the lack of material in the head tube will make handling really sloppy

Has thay been near a wind tunnel? I also suspect very poor aerodynamics around the fork. It may look cool, but does it perform?

It’s only the disc wheel for sale but that’s about as extreme a lo-pro as I’ve seen. What size is that front wheel, looks like it’s off my Brompton!

I agree it looks smaller, but I think it’s 650c, in his other items there are a pair for sale, with a 650 front… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254764548865

love the bike, with crazy crank and Campag Delta Front brake. Not sure I could hold an Aero position for long though

Only in Switzerland. Used bike… conversion rate from Swiss Franks to GBP is about 1.2 (or Swiss Frank is equivalent to one Euro)

That’s truly awful (didn’t some sheikh have a similar one made recently too)
It’s times like this we really need an “Dislike” button

I think there was a gold plated bike for sale in a shop in Dubai on one of those C5 programmes about people spending obscene amounts of money on tasteless sh1t.

I can’t remember how much they sold it for, but I do recall that the basic bike that they had gold plated was an entry level Specialized Allez :roll_eyes:

The middle eastern obsession with bling is repugnant imho.

There’s a super yacht knocking about that has a gold plated hull; $4.8bn iirc …S.M.H.

Looks pretty sweet IMHO
