Didn't see it posted anywhere on here so I thought I'd share. What are the thoughts on the looks of the MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung Team Edition S5

Looks pretty awesome, I like the P5 as well, except for the yellow seatpost and coloured chain. A yellow saddle to match the bar tape would have been enough.

I think the paint scheme works by far the best of the P5 in part because of the addition of the stripes on the bars (http://www.teammtnqhubeka.com/?p=9363). I briefly rode with part of the MTN team on a training when they were doing a recce of the Tour de Yorkshire and their matte black S5s were understated but worked well with their white and black kit.

I think it's one of the best looking off the shelf paint schemes I've seen in the last few years. I did also like FVL P5 last year with that digital camo pixel scheme as well. I think it's apparent I like bright flashy colours even though both my steeds are "soul sucking" black

Good to see the first ever African team in the Tour de France as well. Finally somebody has organized and funded a team which will be tapping into a Continent with a lot of potential in endurance sport.

ouch $14.5k on the Cervelo site.

I don't know how a bicycle can cost the same as this,

You obviously must not have looked at the RCA, R5CA, Pinarello, or other such bikes. But yes it is absolutely mind boggling.

I was looking at the Canadian website, looks like they are still treating us decent with the exchange rate.

I'm just glad Cervelo is finally making a bike that matches their team colors. For some odd reason, it always drove me crazy that Garmin rode stock colors that didn't match their kits at all.

In that case, you can buy a Fiesta for significantly less than the Cervelo--$11,213CAD starting.
