We're on our way back from Rouleur and, despite the lack of beer, we had a great time looking at some of the best cycling tech available. Here are some of our highlights.
BMC's Masterpiece is a stunning example of quality control. The frame comes out of the mould like this and it is raw perfection.
The logos are subtle and we learnt that only about 80 have been sold worldwide since the bike's launch roughly a year ago.
Lightweight wheels finish a no-expense-spared build.
This Hope track bike would be the ultimate hipster fixie. It's also very fast.
Gianni Moscon's drivetrain is my idea of a nightmare.
Make your own jokes about it being as dirty as his mouth...
His teammate Carapaz, meanwhile, has been busy with the polish.
Look at that paint fade too! Tidy.
Ceramic Speed has its OSPW systems ready to go if you've got your hands on the new Dura-Ace and you feel the need to spend more money.
Ribble's Ultra was on display in this stunning British Racing Green. Sparkles are optional.
One of the most interesting race bikes that we've seen this year is Lizzie Deignan's Roubaix-winning Trek.
The bike features a 1X SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset. The chain keeper is a just-in-case measure.
SRAM Blips sit on either side of the stem to make sifting easier on the cobbles.
Race notes tidily printed.
And big tyres for a floaty ride.
This Specialized S-Works Crux featured a beautiful brushed aluminium-effect finish.
And we'll finish with this POC TT lid with the brilliant Palace design. It's quackers.
Ok, someone get us a beer.
What you have to remember about Clarkson is that not even he believes the things he writes and says. He often bangs on about how cars are more fun...
how very woke.. want to cancel him?
The double contraction, they'd've, means just that..
Cycling Monkey is particularly vitriolic against helmet wearing; a bit like Jeremey Whine carrying on about not needing to wear hi-vis and...
The Sirrus feels an odd platform to launch this on. Were people crying out for an expensive, innovative hybrid?
no decent parts either...and even the low end stuff looks poor
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4HW33SgZlM
I have to disagree. I don't like these new style zebra crossings with the bright white lights on the posts. The light they cast is quite dazzling...
I was on the Indigogo for the previous generation - the Icon 2. Mine turned up but kept falling off. After 3 weeks I arrived home one day without...
That is a bunch of work!...
