Is there a bell on the S5 with the spacers?

Chips Lovell

Yes.

I think it's a legal requirement in the UK that bikes must be sold with a bell.

I did not know that. Common sense I suppose.

Who should I lobby to get this rule introduced here?

Chips Lovell

Leo Varadkar.

This may not be a popular opinion but does anyone else think that the new Pinarello dogma is horrific? The wavy front and rear forks dont do anything for me. Honestly, I feel physically sick just looking at this.....

Dogmas start a party in my pants.

IMO they're becoming steadily less ugly, both in absolute terms as the wavy forks are toned down, and in relative terms as all other manufacturers compete to make the gimpiest looking bike (Cervelo is ahead at the moment).

They do also have fantastic ride quality, according to some reviews I've read, and that's got to be worth something, even if it comes with a few hundred grams of excess carbon and paint.

The seller will 'except 3000 for the Carbon fibber road bike'

Isn't it non uci legal for TTs...also isn't a carbon 'fibber' bike fundamentally unreliable?

Maybe instead of being light and stiff like carbon fibre a carbon fibber bike just tells you ''well done, top five again bro!'

In fairness it wouldn't be that much but still close to 4500 I'd imagine and guessing its from the 90's. Although due to age I think the asking is a joke....

OldBean

And the fact it's been raced. In TT's AND Tri's. A lot. And hard. Top 5 hard.

Carbon fibber. :pac:

There's ordinary liars, and then there's carbon fibbers.

seems ebay values it for significantly less. maybe the blue is more expensive paint or something

everything wrong in the world helped crafted this disgusting cretin. probably made in North Korea for added panache

the marketing exec has described it as the perfect bike for women who want to accompany their husbands on training rides but can keep up without an engine????

Christ, what is coming out of the saddle? Looks like what you see hanging out of a goldfish's arse. That's a new class of ugly, good find.

Burning this with fire wouldn't be enough, it needs to be sent into low earth orbit and see if it survives re-entry.

Forgive my being pedantic, but isn't that killing it with fire?

As long, of course, as she has her head covered at all times, and remains always behind her husband in deference to his status.
