So what do you think is the best ‘looking’ TT bike from this years tour?
(Once I find the images for all road bikes i’ll post them aswell.)
AG2R LA MONDIAL - KUOTA
TEAM ARGOS - FELT
ASTANA - SPECIALIZED
BMC - BMC
COFIDIS - LOOK
TEAM EUROPCAR - COLNAGO
EUSKATEL - EUSKADI - ORBEA
FDJ - BIGMAT - LAPIERRE
GARMIN - SHARP - CERVELO
ORICA - GREENEDGE
As there are 22 teams, I can only have 10 selections on the poll…
Is there a way these 3 threads can be combined…?
mmmmm cervelo or bmc
I went through the cyclingnews prologue gallery today and I can’t say any of them leave me overly well plussed.
Was originally a big fan of the Lapierre, but they’ve remained unchanged for some time now. Cadel’s setup makes the BMC look rad, but the rest of his team doesn’t get a second glance from me. One of the Kuota’s I saw running an ergo stem slung as low as possible scored points - but the rest of the package is still average.
The Liquigas Cannondale’s have a great neat cockpit and cable setup and the little hidden mini v-brakes are cool
Was the omission of Rabobanks offering from Giant a conscious one?
(I still haven’t figured out how to attach pics to posts since the forum update)

I can’t bring myself to appreciate the UCI legal TT version of the Shiv when the faired Tri versions looks so boss.

Wiggins makes any bike look wicked fast
The shiv, internal bladder internal cable routing with a level stem.
The thing letting it down is shitty paint
The rest are to busy.
mmmm - further pontification has resulted in Canyon taking top spot for me
I agree with everything u say here… Except the part about wiggins
Any bikes still using the conventional steerer tube just looks outdated. Those with the newer hinge type configuration just have better lines. Not a big fan of their road bikes but have to say the Scott plasma just works for me closely followed by the Shiv. The Colnago is a real let down, but then again, they’ve never been able to nail a TT bike before.
Anyone got a close up of Saur’s Time?
The small Shivs like the Astana one in the pic look weird with that hump going up from the top tube to the stem.
The Felt or the Look from this lot, maybe.
BMC
Cervelo
Scott
All sweet.
Cervelo and Scott has my vote
