I know what you mean! The aero tubes cancel out the negative effect of our peaked caps and over-sized messanger bags.

that looks a frame that was made out of silver clay, by some artisan guy. and then the artisan guy's little kid comes along and pinches the frame in places.

That blue TR250 is so obnoxious with risers and an aerospoke. Does that dude wear trucker hats too?

Also the Look 464 Track is HOT.

Is it just me, or does that look just like a rebranded leader 735?

thats what the title says. people are posting what ever though. Didnt mean to offend you. Considering you, yourself, posted a "2009" pista concept, which does not true have arrow tubing.

not aero - but that geekhouse does look amazing. I would love to have that bike.

on an aero-related note, I rode a guys aero leader and I liked it alot. I don't understand all the hate for leader.
