Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Does anyone else find the brand and model-name logos really too large and detracting?

I am by no means a WW. In fact, coming from the MTB, I am leaning toward the disc models. Hope to see more details on pricing and weights soon to compare the models and decide on my first road bike. So far SS Evo Ultegra 3, CAAD12 Disc Dura Ace/(disc/non-disc)Ultegra have been high on my list...

You may be able to call a bike shop and get a price. From what I understand the new models are on the dealers websites now. But even they probably won't be able to give you a weight. You'll have to wait for a magazine review.

The lefty is gimmicky. I'd much rather have a Headshok design with carbon legs. It would fit ok with that short travel. More travel and the head tube would be too tall.

Actually, with cx handlebars being a little higher, an updated headshok design would fit perfectly.

I've been saying that for a long time. I would buy that. The lefty fork looks weird.

Call Incycle in So Cal. (Chino store, specifically) There are a couple 2016's on the floor already (race team benefits)

I don't know if prices are up yet, but they could certainly give you weight.

Nice to see them go to small diameter seatposts.
