i love to make fun of flax bikes because, y'know boulder fakeass rich hippies, but how much is that uuuuuuuulllltra bespoke firefly going for? i'm thinking any ultra fred is dry humping that shit any day instead of the schwinn.

I like the S5, it looks kind of brutal.

is it true that Gilbert does not ride carbon (I think I might have read that here?). Or maybe not in the Spring Classics? I'd love to know which frame he does the most damage on.
― it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Friday, 1 July 2011 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
i reckon he's been on the aerooad more often than not since it was released - vuelta and worlds last year, milan-san remo, amstel gold i think? i have read that some lotto riders opted for the ultimate AL rather than the carbon one a couple of years ago for the spring classics; also the lotto boys tend to ride the regular ultimate CF rather than the SLX version because the latter is too light to build up legally, which is pretty lol imo.

It's funny, where most brands are trying to close up that gap between seaport and rear wheel above the chainstays, that BMC has a giant gap.

took my old MTB to the bike shop where they were taking donations and spotted a bianchi ...pinella, i think? lightweight frame from a few years ago apparently, made from some exotic-sounding boron steel mix. pearlescent celeste, with athena 11, really beautiful.
