Funny, none of these are on the R&M site, that I can see. Guess you folks on the other side of the pond see the site different. Seems R&M has a way to filter content based on browser or something.
They appear on the German version of the r-m site (sprechen sie deutsch?) see:
http://www.r-m.de/faltraeder/modellu...c/alu-poliert/ for example.

Just checked my '06ish Silver and the top tube has an oval cross section, so the two new bikes seem to use the 'classic' frame and are nothing new except for the cable routing.
The new cross section looks more triangular than oval. I'll try to paste a better picture but this forum seems to cut down the size of my pics and they don't appear in the text like others. I'm obviously missing something . .



I'm hoping to see some closeups of the disc model, as it appears the calipers are mounted directly to the frame without braze ons. Could just be the photo though.
You should be able to see more on the above link (use magnify) but my comment above applies. Is there some way I can set this to notify me when someone adds to a thread or do you just have to keep looking?
