Great photo!!!--who manufactures those yellow bikes?

LACyclist

Who did the paint on that Red bike? Northern Cali Place?

LACyclist

Were you referring to this bike?

RecceDG

Yes; I've seen a solid yellow version of that frame. Dude was riding it in the Tour de Flanders this year.

They're the Cannondales that Mavic provides as neutral support bikes during the Tour.

Check the big 'C' on the head tube. Cannondale.

Saw a girl on one of these this weekend, but didn't get a chance to ask her where or how she got it.

I'd say either Scott Foil 30 or go for custom painted.

Ribble carries the Deda Scuro RS(this is a frame made by Deda and used by numerous brands, gets great reviews) for about $1200 for the frameset: https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/roa...me/RIBBFRAR960

Then an extra $400-500 for strip and repaint.

$1500ish for Ultegra build kit: https://www.excelsports.com/main.asp?...ajor=1&minor=2

Or go custom aluminum from Tsunami or Spooky and get it painted as you like.

Carbon Unit

Calfee will. They also have a carbon frame called a Luna for $2,195.00 and will paint it any color you want.

Triguy

Ridley has a program similar to Project one, see the customize button on their carbon bike pages:

Damocles with rival is a $3000 bike I think. I don't know what the custom paint adds on to the price.

Specialized did a Project Yellow Tarmac last year

Irony here is that I could have 2 of these yellow S-works, both in my size, when they came out a couple of years ago or so. One was in a Specialized owned shop near me in Santa Monica built out with SRAM, and the other was just a frame in a box 30 miles away at another specialized shop I popped into on a ride and asked about.

I turned away from them bc it was a big special event by Specialized and BMC and one of the Specialized company executives from Northern California was there, told me to take this particular bike with the SRAM and not to change it out with Shimano--he did not recommend an adapter--basically that this bike was designed for SRAM and that is it. So I was turned off, and let it go. It was a really nice looking bike--I went back to look at it. That shop in Santa Monica has a wealthy clientele and the sales staff has a bit if an attitude to go along with it--I have been interested in bikes there a few times and they are tough to get anyone's quality attention. But the bike came in at approx. 5600.00 on the tag I kind of recall. Was told this was a limited edition frame with less than 50 in production and a few of those being held by Specialized in No Calif not to be sold at that time.

The other aspect of that bike was that one of the local Specialized Reps cautioned that S-works is not really for weekend riders or distance riders, that its a harsher riding model for a professional class rider. Not sure that is true or not--but I just was not getting the confidence at this event or in that shop that I needed to plunk down 6 big ones on a bike.

Sometimes in bike shops in my locality, because rents are so expensive and competition so fierce, there is way too much attitude and not enough bike help. I usually like to get out of the city to get more attention. A few years ago, one of the sales guys at the Specialized shop told me on a test drive day that if he does not sell one by the end of the weekend--he may be done so come in and talk to him after the ride... Buying a bike can be like buying a car sometimes I guess.

There's no reason you can't ride an S-works bike as a non racer. I've ridden my S-works SL2 across the US in a month, they're great long distance bikes as long it is setup for you.

You might want to go into a specialized shop and have them check out the dealer website, there's probably some yellow SL3s in the warehouses that haven't sold.

[QUOTE=LACyclist;14163350]I saw one in person the other day. The FOIL looks better in pictures than it does in real life IMO. In real life the bike has a slightly chunky appearance. It just looks bulky for some reason. As for Rival vs Ultegra, I've owned and ridden both in the last 12 months. I think Rival is a better performing group overall. I like solid yellow bikes. Good luck on your search.

NWS Alpine

There is this one too



This one is sweet

Cannondale SuperSix with SRAM Rival comes in yellow.

Probably have to switch to the optional color if you follow the link.

I suffered an injury and now almost rehabilitated--so took some time away from the yellow bike search unfortunately. I may see if I can track down either one of those all yellow Cannondales pictured above if they are for sale.

If any one has seen any other current yellow production bikes recently, I appreciate the information.

jesspal

Saw a neutral car cannondale on eBay a couple months ago.

I would love to sell my BMC racemaster that is mostly yellow. Just not crazy about the fit.

This will probably be available soon...

They used to have CAAD9s as their support bike. Seems that when Cannondale produced the budget CAAD8, Mavic skipped on the far superior CAAD10 to use a very entry level frame.

Not that I wouldn't be grateful for one if I needed it...

LACyclist

Very nice! WOW!
I was just looking at some Pinarellos online this afternoon--but I didn't see a 100% yellow one as perfect as the one in your pic.

I really like this bike and its Dura-Ace--Perfect!

Hope that they sell em.

May contact a dealer?

surgeonstone

Not quite solid yellow but I would take one of these in a New York minute.

Just call them up and say you want the Wiggins model. Then don't listen when they laugh.

I have a friend with a yellow Chinarello. If you don't mind fakes, and aren't concerned about black market goods asploding, it's a cheap option.
