    The most distracting thing about that picture is the wrong side of the bike facing the camera.

    You are absolutely right.

    The photo should have been taken from behind her!

    Perhaps this will help focus minds away from the pier and pebbles.

    You have to wonder at a company that uses about 8 inches of spacers on a publicity shot on their own website.

    ^ Yup, much better. Looks like a lovely frame and proper agressive geometry, too. The 52cm frame has only a 115mm HT, certainly no beach cruiser. Their TT frame looks classy as well but price is a bit eye watering.

    There's nothing hilarious about it. Nothing at all.

    I found it quite amusing perhaps I read it in the manner intended.

    No ****s appeared to given this day. Cringe worthy to say the least.

    On the bike being reversed I'd imagine it's a case of showing off the frame as much as possible instead of blocking part of it with the chainset.

    Who is the girl on the blue white and red bike?
    Reason I ask is I was on the plane the other day and I'm nearly sure that the picture was in a newspaper of a man sitting across from me.
    Thinking it's not a pro due to the bag, the medal and the big bloody number in her chest - so it's obviously someone famous in a sportif or something?

    Rear triangle is very similar to Giant. I do like those canyons though the aeroroad is stunning.

    In fairness Harry is absolutely right. If it was a guy holding that bike the same comment wouldn't have been made, so it's not on. It took all I have not to call it out actually! If I could have thanked Harry's post repeatedly i would have. I'll stop there

    I was kicking up about the blatant mysongny on this forum well before Gadetra was a member. But I'll choose to take it as a compliment.
