As much as I am a fan of Merlin's subtle engravings, that is overkill. Like leprosy style overkill.

Colnago orbea look cervelo. I think the Look bikes are nice race bike but not a who lot of bling. Cervelo the same. Cervelo up close is not very blingy, however the quality is most definitely outstanding!
Colnago takes bling FTW... orbea no... look & cervelo kick ass, but not in a bling way http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/7...hmzoom1gj3.jpg http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/3...hmzoom2jr8.jpg http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/3...hmzoom5tk4.jpg |
BMC>Pinarello>Colnago>Cervelo
my favorites being the BMC and Cervelo Looks are nice, but I think they are a bit boring (in a good way, but still boring). |
You sure?

I don't think I'd have Orbea and Cervelo on my list.
Here's two - understated bling. Bit brand crazy, but hey, who's counting? No one can read them if you're riding properly. http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8398/595xx5.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1354/c50ys4.jpg |
Look I don't think falls under bling. pure race. Colnago is Blings purest form.
Orbea I would consider semi bling - cervelo are race bikes. The finish on Cervelos were always suspect up until recently. Cervelo would often have runs in the clear, also the alignment of the decals used to be noticeably un even. these are not very bling characteristics. But the construction of the bike was always strong and fast. I think most people see a white bike like the LOOK and think bling. |
Colnago and Cervelo, even Orbea, are more "pure race" than any LOOK I've seen, besides their TT frames.
Looks have always been a paintjob, and some sort of frame component (ISP, rear wheel cutout, etc) that they introduce to set them apart, yet still fail, at with the least the ones I've seen. No real innovation, really. Colnago takes their time in development, and make classic, well fitting, great handling and very comfortable bikes. Cervelo, despite their miserable paint, are pushing the limits of engineering and materials. LOOK...they extend the seat tube, make a bike less portable and storable, and determine that's an advantage. |
Does no one consider BMC bling?

Orbea is not bling, definitely a brand I will never own. Cervelo is not bling, I would consider owning but overpriced, although their marketing states advance and technical engineering which to me is overrated to some extent. Colnago is bling for sure, except really overpriced and overrated bling, and some Colnagos are made in China, which undermined the blingness of the brand. These are all ridable brands who invested time and resources into research and development, bling factor aside, you can't go wrong with any of these. |
BMC race bike ( even tho they have a notoriously flexy top tube ) my best friend ride one. nice bike tho. I would say race bike.

Sorry, no Asian made product can be considered bling however falsely advertised as "Made in [insert your preferred boutique country]" it is.

I mean come on! We all KNOW it's a LOOK already!!!! You don't need the word "LOOK" on the fork SIX times!!!!! I think they're even worse than Cannondale in terms of writing their name on their frames. It's almost like reading the bible! Go with a Cervelo instead. Notice how the word "LOOK" comes up 18 times only on one side of the bike!!!!! EDIT: Someone already beat me to it while I was adding those highlights to the pic!!!!! LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK,....etc..... Annoying as heck isn't it********** |

http://www.pbase.com/colorchange/ima...5/original.jpg For example - 404 Clinchers and a very lightweight frame - a no no in the fast catagory. Also the group is not top of the line for the Manufacturer, another no no. . nice bike/frameset regardless but just a couple things that keep it out of the blingy zone. |
