I was chatting with the owner of :
`posh bikes` he was telling me about the history of that region of bike makers and some of the earliest carbon bikes made. My friend got a tour of the VIner workshop when they made him his custom frame. I think they have been taken over. You should. Post a photo of your fiancee ` bike.

Check it out :D

It's not the best photo but it's the best one I've got ATM. Legend 4.7 with Chorus and Scirocco wheels for training (11speed Dura Ace for racing). It's amazing, I'd love to know what the 11.5 is like :eek:

The workmanship of Marco Bertoletti's metal bikes is something to behold. I thought one of hi steel frames was Titanium and one of his painted Titanium frames was Carbon until I touched it. The welding is so neat Baum, Enigma and Moots look like butchers!


That's fantastic. Looking at the paint job , I doubt any photo could do it justice.

Here's a photo of his welding ,,,,incredible

I would change the fit for myself and ride this all day. Those Campy cranks are getting better the more I see them.
Maybe my fav bike....

I'm not keen on the recent Merckx bikes. Mr Merckx is not on board any more.

Not a fan of the fat tube myself. Like all those.

Especially attracted to the Telekom Pinarello for some reason though.

That's because it goes with the pink Mavic shoes in the previous thread.

I am a fan of pink as well, it's a great colour for a bike.

See you're a fan of stealth black. I like it as well, the pink shock is a nice touch.


Yeah, I'm a weight weenie lunatic to be honest, raw carbon. I make a few bits nothing special i.e. not great skilz required.
But a huge bike fan in general and Eurobike has been great and a bit of retro is always nice.
I even quite liked the R3 with disc's [I'm not a disc fan]

Disc's at Vuelta Markel Irizar
“It will really help on rainy days,” Irizar said. “Maybe they’re not ideal for every stage, but in the classics, when there is a lot of mud and rain, and when braking is very important, but maybe not on a stage in the Tour de France, when weight really matters.”

OVERSIZED pulleys from ceramic speed, expensive very expensive

A fool and his money are soon parted. 3 watts(claimed) and $600..'ceramic' is the biggest scam ever, when it comes to bicycles.

I'm inclined to agree. Just a marketing buzzword at worst. Marginal gains at best. Low load bearings like jockey wheels can, and should be low friction, but it's pretty small stuff in the scheme of things. "Ceramic" brings nothing to the table here.

Contador used to run large pulleys and his drive-trains were reputedly very low friction overall. Secret squirrel stuff, apparently. His drive-trains look more conventional nowadays, I think.
