Look, Canyon, Cannondale and Giant all have nice looking frames for this year's TdeF - longer list here http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/n…
- I'm pulling for Quintana!mg33
- I'd love to see Quintana win too, or Nibali. Contador's crash on day 1 definitely isn't going to help him any...BuddhaHat
- I dig the Canyon with Campagnolo group and wheels, sexy!OBBTKN
- Agreed, I like how they have sloped the name negatively on the downtube so it's almost horizontal, very cool.BuddhaHat

Sagan's S-Works Venge
http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/n…
I've loved the Venge frames for a while now. Alas I could only afford an Allez, but I'd love to ride a Venge.
- that's fucking beautifulBuddhaHat
- the brake setup behind the forks and down the seat-tube is awesomeBuddhaHat
- It sure makes that beautiful humming noise when riding high speedsmekk
- Speaking of Sagan, I think he's my new favourite rider. Fucking LOL http://www.sbs.com.a…BuddhaHat

You're talking about engineering marvels that cost more than my first car while I'm riding a gifted Critical road bike alongside the girl on a 60's Schwinn.

I just installed this Etap business on my bike. It feels like I'm clicking a mouse to change gears.

- Ace! And a nice photo... Security brakes are a plus, if you appreciate your lifeOBBTKN

- What do you mean "has a brake"? Bikes come without brakes? That's moronic.section_014
- Is this stock or did you build it? I'm looking for something similar actually.SteveJobs
- Jesus, look at that. I'm not at all jealous, nope.detritus
- Here, what's the deal with the different spoke types? I've never understood why everyone does that - presumably not just aesthetics?detritus
- @section_014 I guess fixies don't have brakes, you have to backpedal. I fucking hate fixiesernexbcn
- you already posted a pic of this bike before right? Or someone here has the same model. Fucking love it. Not envious, just jealous. Enjoy!********

- try riding a proper road bike Bennn, not as uncomfortable as you'd think. https://www.google.c…imbecile
