What bikes do we lust over?

Teammate is in Kona for the Ironman and snapped some shots of the world's fastest TT bike:

aparently it's known as the 'shiv' now. still not on sale until 2011!

wonder if ridley will have to give up the fastestbikeintheworld.com domain name, haha

saw KHS track bike in a pearlescent take on celeste blue today, was hott. sorta made me want to take up track!

cool tt bike. i dont understand all the rules for sure, but anyway how does the headtube pass the 3:1 rule

nice

hunt3r i think it sneaks thru the 3:1 rule by having the brake mounted to that head tube bulkhead thing - they can argue it's there for structural reasons

saw tight-lookin colnago with Di2 today. pricey!

also saw '10 model CAAD 9 with dura-ace bits, was feelin it

also saw no-interest payment option in the same shop

hmmmmm

caad9 is the aluminum best bike out there for the money. about to ride mine to work.

so tempting

n+1 fever!!

fwiw i'd go SRAM red instead of DA

wonder if cannonwhales are fully rehabilitated in the race scene here-- back in the day you never saw one racing except for newbies.

i really liked the salsa la cruz parked next to my bike at work yesterday.

there is ~someone at school who rides a SS voodoo cx bike and I like it v v much

they definitely are very present here in the NE. the bikereg/cannondale sponsored team is perhaps the best elite team in the region as well.

nnnnnnnnnnnnngh

What bikes do we lust over?

(noted: this bike has vert dropout but reminds me of the aforementioned)

i like that cyclingtips is going to get that frame fixed up and then build it up so readers of the blog can borrow it when in melbourne!

defo!!

on the condor tip, ATTN: SHASTA

shd be baris k roubaix imo

bonertime

do u like caad9-6 at all? gonna be trading my current bike in (doesn't fit me) and i tried test rode one. also tried a lemond buenos aires but its way out of my price range ;(

that's the same frame as cutty's bike i think? just with a different parts spec.

yeah but i have 2009. i wholeheartedly recommend the caad9. what group does the 9-6 come with?

shimano tiagra. pic here

and the other one: http://www.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/fc4/33d/672/31498/product_page/lemond-buenos-aires-double-2007-road-bike.jpg

wait are you going to get 2009 or 2010?

i don't know? bike store lady mentioned she would get me the 10-speed (caad 9 6 triple i think?) cuz they're phasing out the 9-speeds??

i don't think you need a triple, grandma

get a compact crankset instead

Even a lummox like me doesn't need a triple hauling groceries on a much heavier bike. (admittedly I have quite a wide rear range)
