Sorry, but these new bikes look like moving billboards.
Elegance and subtlety is a thing of the past.
I'm sure its a great bike, but I could never ride anything that looked like that.

I think you mean the BMC Time Machine TT 01...it's $12,500 just for the frameset!
And, FWIW, it looks more like it should be in a Formula One race...not fatty N-Ass-Car.

Yes, I was about to post that one too. The time trial one is quite unattractive ... but that isn't its purpose.

It's one smokin' bike! I'll bet it's fast -- almost as fast as a white bike...
Seriously (!) It's a beautiful machine.
