When did Specialized first show its '07 models? I saw a picture of the 928 Carbon C2C taken last summer. Bianchi's curved top tubes have been around for a year now.

Brought it home a week ago tomorrow. I've only put 85 miles on it so far cuz of the stupid rain. However the best 85 miles I've ridden to date. Carbon makes a huge difference.

I see now that the '06 Tarmac had it too. I didn't notice it before.
The are several manufacturers now that have curved top tubes. I read a while back that the benefit of the curved tube is to minimize the compact geometry look while still effectively having compact geometry. It works for me.

wow, some nice bikes posted!
my current ride is a 2005 bianchi eros - not too fancy, but good enough for centuries, commuting, and monthly critical mass. my first road bike, an 80's miyata (blue frame with pink/white/green art-deco decals!), has been converted to a fixed gear.
and damn does it feel good to pass somebody riding an unobtanium bike that costs twice as much as mine!!
steel is real.
