N.Wood Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I like that blue, but still hate the shape of the frames, something about that seat tube makes it look appauling to my little eyes.Maybe it looks better in real life?

Phatmike Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I like that blue, but still hate the shape of the frames, something about that seat tube makes it look appauling to my little eyes.Yeah, I think the seat tube should follow closer to the tyre aesthetically... but hey it's part of a £300 bike, can't complain too much!Bike's looking sweet Rich, I prefer the blue too - shame you get shafted when it comes to parts. :wink2: Mega frames though, had mine nearly 6 months and it's still alive!

Nick Manning Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well done Rich for getting on the team for 2009, I reckon this year is gonna be a cracker. Bike looks sweet, new you'd love it, there's nothing to not like about them. Based on geo they do sound a bit iffy, but they ride amazingly. Will be cool to have the whole team together on the London ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
