No denying it, I love the cyclist. I also enjoyed his recent comments about AS and AC. Is it me, or is this bike so ugly it should come with a free bowl of soup?

The the video on his website is good for a few laughs, http://www.mcipollini.com/

Yep, it's fugly. And that video was hilarious in a long-winded sort of a way. Cipo is pretty epic...

Just like Cippo himself... It's over the top.

I like it, but I can't forgive how badly you butchered that Caddyshack reference.

It looks like a generic Ebay TT frame with drop bars.

It should be like sparkly metallic...maybe gold. That would be fitting I think. And it should come with a free pair of aviators and a note saying it's not compatible with other forms of eyewear or generic jeans.

It should be zebra.

I was just about to post this same thread...

Agreed!

What, when you buy a bike like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

Almost every carbon frame looks like the next now with only the paint job making a distinction. Obviously that wasn't going to cut it for Mario. It might look better in larger sizes because its the headtube/downtube area that really has style issues.

You'll get nothing and like it.


;)

I think the fellow is missing one part of his genitalia. Much of the dialog makes really very little sense if you have some degree of self esteem. That said - what's macho about the bike other than it's black and slightly bulbous?

I like the bike. IMO, looks pretty nice compared to most the bikes posted here.:D As far as macho, I'd be more likely to respect Zabel's words. The guy was a sprinter too but had the balls to do the mountain stages and hang in there long enough to finish the tours!:p

Made in Italy and coming from Mario C, one would think it comes with Campy.

horrible. really horrible.

What part?

it's just weird like a darf vada bike. odd shapes that look stupid.

Looks pretty campy even with Dura Ace on it.

I like people who say what they mean, and are interesting. Cipollini is one of these people.

He didn't get the memo on cliches, and I am glad for it.

^^^^ Great movie!

I love that bike. How awesome would it be to have your own R & D department. I'd have all sorts of crazy crap coming outta there. He's gotta have a bike that doesn't look like the norm, because he's Cipo. He should paint muscles on it or something.

I like it, so sue me.

Anatomic muscles...

IMO it's you.

The only fugly thing about that bike is Shimano's horrible-looking DA crankset. They just keep getting uglier. And now Ultegra looks crap, too.


...Although I see the carbon one is an improvement... great to see a proper big ring again instead of that other mess.

...Actually, come to think of it, the downtube looks a bit wrong where it's kinda pinched-off under the top tube... would prolly look better on bigger frames with a longer head tube. But aside from that it's pure sex.

I really think it's ugly too.
