Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

guess this is one of those "post your opinion and get out..." kinda threads so here's mine.

don't care much for flat black or any kind of graphics but i like the curved line from headtube (which i like with a slight, forgive me..., bulge) to the seat tube and with a similar curved line continuing through the seat stays.

sorry, i just realized my opinion sounds like something you'd hear coming from that idiot Simon Cowell.

IMO, the frame looks really good, but if I shelled out the big bucks to get this, I would tone it down with the red. Perhaps change the seat to straight-black, logo-less black wheels, black cables and shifter covers.

I agree 100%

Lightweight wheels with the stealth black logos would be really neat, and have just the red on the frame for the accent colour.

I think it looks pretty cool. Though wondering why they got rid of the ISP that was used on the Cento Uno. I know it's a pain, but I dig the Cento Uno Superleggera that has the "Superleggera" logo running down the length of the ISP and ST...

Proper grammar but incorrect.

I wondered the same, thinking it would be lighter with using their ISP. Excellent observation!

I think it is great looking - the only thing I would change is the red hoods. I even like the way the red cables go with the theme.

It's so hot, the steerer has an erection...

I like the bike but could do without all the advertising of their technologies on the top tube. Rather it be a cleaner but I understand the bike is a great performing bike.

8 years later, and all the graphics look a bit dated by current tastes, but I still love the bike.

Just under 13 pounds, handles great, and stiff enough for my size.
