Ugly - Bradley Wiggins' Pinarello Bolide TT bike

[ColinJ]

gives me a backache looking at it

It gives me a b*****kache looking at it!

I like it, just not keen on the rear disc, the decals don't go with the rest of the bike. If the disc decals were gold then it would look pretty trick I reckon.

 

[tigger]

the fairings over the rear brake looks like an afterthought too..

When you think about, nearly all fairings are an afterthough

I'd need a stepladder to get anywhere near that saddle. And someone to steer for me as I wouldn't be able to reach the bars.

Here's hoping that in 3 weeks time Jim Bowen doesnae turn up towing a speedboat and saying "here's what you coulda won..."

Too right. He's not gonna look good now.

Au contraire crax, he's already in Italy:

I do not find it pretty, but it is not a beauty competition.

I imagine it is quite fast, as long as it has a fast chap pedalling it.

I saw an excellent documentary film about a chap on a bicycle once.

It was not like the bicycle in this thread.

Carry on.

Was this the documentary?

I think we (finally) have to admit, TT bikes have entirely moved into F1-car territory. You wouldn't go down t'shops in Hamilton's car, the same way you wouldn't go out for a spin on Wiggins' TT bike.

Ugly? Dunno... Looks fast though

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

I'd give all your right arms for that bike!

Looks fine but it's more the performance factor i would be interested in. Actually i want a shot..............

 

[Hip Priest]

Like a high-end racing car, I'd imagine that it's a pretty difficult thing to enjoy unless you've got the ability to push its limits.

Cool bit of kit

 

[monkeylc]

Love sitting at traffic lights on that.

 

[gavroche]

certainly not built for cornering!
