Menchov's TT Bike

[Eric8-A]

Ah I was looking for a photo of Cofidis' TT bike last night. Not liking the top tube dent I'm afraid.
Their 695 is one of my favourite bikes (frames) though.

And then there's the 566 with that horrible top tube, was considering getting the frame for a build but I can't get used to the look of it.

Yeah, the dent ain't so easy on the eyes. But for some reason I have a fascination for Look bikes. I really like the TT bikes that Credit Agricole used.

Interview with Botero, said they had no TT bikes. Also, they could have just changed the wheels and steer... give me a side shot

Indeed, those bikes seem like road bikes fitted with a TT steer and disc wheels.

If those are Giant TT bikes, they aren't the trinity. Notice the exposed front brake calipers in front of the fork. With the trinity they're hidden behind the fork.

No idea what Botero said, but just found them around.
On the first pic you can notice the typical Giant's "nose".

And here more pics from Utah.

Everyone rides good TT's on the Giant bicycles .

It's not about the bike

I actually like the Geox Fujis. Certain components and the colors make it look too busy, but the lines look wicked.

That Cannondale might be one of the worst; the top tube extending past the seatpost just looks odd, but that might have more to do wit the seatpost than frame.

jep, this one is awesome

Agreed. It seems like they got ride of that weird curve in the frame which was the most horrid thing for me. But hey, like you said, everybody has their own taste.

Here's another bike I really like

I find this the ugliest, along with the cannondale tbh

Does it have to do with the upward dent in the frame?

 

[Eric8-A]

How about this one?

I dig it. Which team is that?

The disc wheel suggests Credit Agricole.

Duh! I don't know why I was thinking of only current teams.

yes it does

How about this one?

I think that's why I like it. I tend to like simplicity.

O/T this bike gives me the feeling I had watching Eurotrash in my early teens. I love the aesthetic of Canyon's bikes.

Yay, we're about the same era, then! Nevertheless I'm having a little trouble understanding what that could actually mean. Care to elaborate a bit?

Also very cool mechanically, how the cables are routed internally through the stem already and the rear break is integrated into the bottom bracket.

Are the new TT bikes going to be solid black like this now? Or are they prototypes only?

So badass.
