I got hit by a car, broke my wrist, had it in a cast for 5 weeks, couldn't do weights or pressups for a year and only got £3000.
What is going on?
Somehow the cost of these beautiful machines reminds me of this superb illustration from one of my most favourite artists, the masterful David Shrigley
Posers dream. Agree with above could have gone along the English builders route.
@adamML
I totally hear what your saying.. It is an interesting topic because do motorist see cyclist full stop regardless of the colour of your top? I ride into London everyday and sometimes I feel I might as well be invisable (and thats with all the lights, bright clothing etc)
I do find it interesting that motor cyclist don't really wear anything bright expect the odd hi vis on but they get the advert campaign to look out for them!
Alotronic, this is the worst kit ever, and it cannot be surpassed in its awfulness:

Disgusting.
Any news on the games?

I'm not a designer, which is why I didn't enter but I did see that the brief was for a Sabbath "colours" jersey. But there must be creative ways of keeping riders safer on the roads AND incorporating the brief...
My bike is covered (BoS insurance) on the home insurance. It is listed as a specific item - and is insured when it is locked at away form home/ at work. It is also covered for accidental damage.
However if you damage it while riding it is NOT covered.
So if you fall off (like I did, going too fast) then your not covered. But if you leave it locked outside a café and someone vandalises it your are covered!
As ever – its all in the small print
+1. I love the look of the Condor frames.
Are IF being used to capture the US market perhaps?
haha, me too.
I have some riders in mind.
Really trivial Dave but on the football one on www.premierleague.com and on one of the online cycling ones (sorry can't remember which one), you can design a kit.
Can we have a kit design for our team?
Top one all day for me... Lovely design. Number 3
And people whinge about premier league clubs changing their kits every 2 years!
Teetosugars - the less twitchy handling might suit you very well, I think Jo is coming very much from a very seasoned cross racer perspective, I wouldn't rule the bike out for yourself.
I think they've made a mistake in not putting rack mounts on the continental
Ooh that is a nice kit.
Critique aside, everyone is talking about Rapha again. Maybe this is just some huge brand awareness wheeze.
I quite like the continental
But if you wanted this sort of thing then the UK frame builders would be a better way to go. Roberts, Hewitt or Mercian (to name just 3 ) could make you one
Thank god for that. The grey was possibly the worth strip of the naughties... Nope, I can't think of a worse one.
I think you guys must have missed a part of the brief of this design.. its for sabbath bikes and there colours predominantly dark grey/black & red and to match there titanium bikes...
horses for courses on the colour choice..
Like, whatever.
Better than the grey/red from last year, I think.
Have a look at the Endura Helium jacket. It performs really well and looks good too.
Aimed at US luxury market surely, at those (frankly) daft prices. Esp. ~$6k for a town bike. I do so hope BikeSnob does a bit on this...
The only one of that selection I'd feel safe wearing on the road is #1, but I wouldn't be seen dead wearing it!
What's wrong with a more subtle approach to higher visibility jerseys? Those of us who live in areas with high traffic densities (i.e. Warrington) need things like that...
