$2,000 a kilo. at that price, i'd want it to weigh 50KG. get my money's worth.

I saw pics of that bike when reading a review this morning and immediately thought of this thread.

So... Back to 2012 levels basically .

Find a used Cervelo R5 in your size and spend the 10 grand saving on facial reconstructive surgery to wipe the smile from your face.

My latest super-trainer and first aero bike. Can't believe it came with a pair of my favourite wheels of all time, which I've never been able to justify to myself before. Need a shorter stem and I'll toy with the idea of introducing some colour via bottle cages/bar tape/saddle but tbh I'll probably just ride the bejaysus out of it. It's an interesting change after 3+ years and 30+ thousand km of very enjoyable Giants TCR (advanced pro). Just need the gale force side winds to die down now so I can take her up my state-sanctioned 5km hill radius spin.

Continuing in part the Black and Tan theme, was fortunate enough to acquire this steed over the summer. Absolutely love it, 6000km in 4 months a testament to that. Rides like a steam train.

Love the frame colour!

Remember really admiring a lightish blue bike on the Sean Kelly a few years ago. It just seemed the right colour.

Unfinished Mrs' bike, but I thought it looked pretty cool and clean and worth a post.
Hard to believe it's a 2012 reg with a hape of miles on the clock. Retired to the attic a couple of years ago, built up for my daughter who never used it, dismantled again and put away, and now heading for new R8000 surgery, ready for posh super-trainer duties.

My own yoke. Was out on it yesterday. I know the mechs are an acquired taste but nicest bike have owned to date.

I've really tried but I just can't come to love a SystemSix.

Was a big fan of the SuperSix and do like the 'Dales.

That *is* a SuperSix. They released a new version last year.

That's very bad news, so now they have two marmite models at the upper end of their racing portfolio :eek:

What is it with these seat stay placements that burns the retinas :pac:

The old one was a thing of beauty alright. The dropped seat stays on the new one are supposed to be more aero, and allow more flex in the seat tube, improving comfort. Eminently practical to be sure, but far too similar to every other 2020 superbike.

Lovely, normally I'd be celeste all the way with Bianchi but the one in the bluey green is the real beauty here.

Actually I think I recall reading these are the bikes Mitchelton Scott (or what ever they will be called) will be riding next season instead of the Oltre Jumbo Visa used.

I love the fact that those Bianchi's don't have dropped stays.

That’s too nice for trainer use - what size is it by the way? 51?? How many miles has it got??

Built up now and ready for road.




For 10 years now I've been a firm believer that your training bike should also be as "nice" a bike as possible. After all its the bike on which you do a huge proportion, maybe even the majority, of your riding. It's all a question of what the bike is worth to you. That r5 is a 48. It has 6 years racing on it. She was talking about getting a new winter trainer. A basic enough one could easily cost 1500 quid. Yet if we tried to sell the R5 we'd probably be lucky to get 1500 for it. So what's the smart move? Give the R5 away to someone else for buttons while you ride an aluminium tiagra yoke? - Doesn't add up for me. Ride the nice bike and just be sure to mind it!

i did a doubletake on that - my eye saw a triple on it, but it's just the way the light is hitting the area around the BB.
