Bicycle Magazine Top Rated 2009 Race Bikes
The June 2009 issue of Bicycle Magazine has the following 2009 Editors' Choice Race Bike for 2009 and the runners-Up.
Editors' Choice: Pinarello Prince
Runners Up: Cervelo S3 and Wilier Cento Uno
As luck would have it I ordered the 2009 Prince 2 weeks ago in the color scheme shown in the article, Prince of Spain Red. Basically it is white and red, with limited black accents. I got it on sale in Europe at a great price.

ahh, jeez. You're back again?
You realize Bicycling is the least objective source you could go to, short of the actual manufacturer themselves?

Selling an '08 Madone 6.5?
Do you buy a brand new $10K bike every year based on good press? You're a marketing guy's wet dream!
And by the way, those Pinys are ugly. They look like they've melted.

Oh, and I've seen the Valverde version in person- it's actually a hot looking bike. I'd never want one, but they're not as ugly in person as you'd think, IMO.

I figured this thread would bring out the many faces of jealousy... I was right.
