With all those new 2011 bikes showing at Interbike (raleigh, bianchi, etc).. what u guys think of the affinity bike?

it is said that it'll go in production run. More info here.

Track forum is that way ->

Interesting design.. how much?

would you ride that on the street?

Would make for a good commuter or touring bike.

not enough AEROSPOKEZ

id buy

gross looking, but probably works great on the track. function over form from the looks of it.

Just needs some racks and panniers.

And a bell.

hell yessss

less graphics is moar.

agreed, not digging the eagle

every bike needs a bell.

I'd put fatties on that thing and ride the trails

Needs more aero'. THEN I will consider it

wow that is ugly as hell. also loving the jackass amount of saddle to bar drop with spacers and stem flipped up

I saw them putting this bike together in the shop one day. they were talking about the shoddy paint job

For that price it better barspin.

These are contradictory statements. Would it be less jackass if the spacers were removed and the stem flipped down?

You realize that this is a track bike, built for the track and will probably get adjusted/sized for the owner to fit like a glove?

+1 should've had vector graphics IMO

Plus the rear wheel is off the ground so the drop looks a lot bigger than it is. Still don't particularly care for the frame, though.

it's not contradictory at all. If the frame is meant to be run with the saddle that high, then you need a ****-ton of spacers to get the bars to a usable level. with the forward slope of the top tube and the high clamp I'm guessing it's meant to be run with the seatpost nearly slammed to the base.

I'm saying despite the stem flipped up and the spacers, there's a jackass amount of drop. it would be even more jackass if the spacers were removed and the stem flipped down. derp.

In a lot cases ive seen, modern track bike = tons of seatpost and upwards stem.
