    I saw this bike at Eagleman a few weeks ago - I was standing next to one of the bike architects as he was chatting with a pro who was riding on a Dimond bike. Any thoughts, anyone??

    No idea if they are any good, they look utterly vile, and for that alone, I wouldnt want one!

    Have to agree with Oryx, aerodynamics etc aside they look horrible, as does the new Ventum.

    Meant to be fast and comfortable but by God are they ugly.

    Based on recent perforomances the dimond seem to be the real deal.

    Looks wise I think they are awful. The ventum though I love

    Ok so the ventum website sucks. Had to go on their facebook to see an actual bike. And omg its like the volvo of tt bikes. Side on its like a suitcase on wheels. Awful!

    I may be a bit traditional at heart!

    I hate Ventum design but for some reason Dimond looks nice :) Does anybody know what would be the price range for those two?

    Frameset is around $6000 so an expensive bike. Have read that bikes like this, Dimond, Falco and Ventum can't be used on a turbo. Might be useful if anyone was thinking of buying one.
