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.

Any bikes still using the conventional steerer tube just looks outdated.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.
