I love the paint schemes on Opus bikes. Their 2005 site is entirely flash, so it's hard to get a decent picture:

For some reason I can't post the pic. That's a really nice bike with the Chorus group and FSA 600 aero wheels.

It's so overwrought I kind of dig it. I'm normally into more of the classic road bike look but this is just ridiculous.
It's just this paint scheme, I'm not so hot on the others.

I have got to go with the Cervélo R2.5. The carbon looks so sweet, and supposedly it rides like no one's business.

Hmmmmm....that's about it, I reckon. I can't find anything else worth posting
Ciocc, Coppi and Wilier always put out sexy bikes but their websites are a bit crappy and/or annoying to use, so I can't find any good pictures.

I do think he is the best Formula 1 driver ever....the master of pushing a 900 hp beast on the rain second to none. When others struggle with spinning their cars out on water he's going 2 seconds a lap faster.
His concentration is relentless and even when he is losing he is always driving at the limit hoping the guy in front of him makes a mistake. He's won a few races like that just becasue he never gave up and something happened to the #1 car's massive lead.
Then that season where he broke both his legs. I thought he was going to be a more conservative driver after that close call.....Nope he went on to win 4 straight World championships. Near death didn't slow him down at all.

Make the R1000 the best looking noncustom that retails for under 2000.00. The Seven's paint jobs are butt ugly.

If so its becuase they are pictures from a test on the bike done by cyclingnews.com, they probably just didnt' get it completely cleaned up.
