Bloody hell what did they do to the Litespeed ? They made one of the most beautiful bikes quite ugly to save a few grams.
Absolutley agree! Also, is that the new Litespeed logo? ABG has to stop with the logo changes. The QR logo change last year was not very good…nor is this one.
Agreed. My first thought at seeing that new Litespeed was how ugly the graphics are, particularly the new font. Pass.
I like the new linkage system on the Scalpel.
Are sideburns mandatory to attend the show?
Must be trade show season. Prepare for a non-stop stream of photos of new and prototype bikes and other Tri-Gear over the next month with a peak frenzy being reached at Interbike in Las Vegas. Time was when ONLY accredited members of the press where allowed to have a camera in shows such as Interbike and there were severe restrictions on what you could shoot. I guess the Internet and digital camera’s have changed all that.
Sadly or gladly we have nothing radically new to announce from Nineteen, but we do have a secret or two up our sleeve that we will have ready for Interbike.
I saw the archon with the red paint job the other day. It looked as if someone made a mess taping the bike and over painted!
Yuck.
As for the frame style, it looks pretty good.
I really like the plasma in white, very cool but whats with the little dragon decails? whats that all about?
That’s David Millar’s bike - I’m guessing it’s personal like the tartan though I don’t know the connection with Dragons - maybe Big Earl did the graphics
.
Yeah I figured as much with the tartan…you may be right about the dragons. lol.
Millar grew up in Hong Kong so its probably related to that.
That can’t be Millar’s bike. The rear wheel is still in one piece. I do like the new Ritchey Hammerhead handlebar.
WOW! That Litespeed is butt ugly.
Anyone know the price tag on the Cannondale Ultimate Slice and/or Slice 1?
Are those Topline cranks on that Litespeed?
Not Topline…Tune…a lot more money.
D- for the Cannondale saddle/seatpost interface.
It looks so temporary.
When I said the Litespeed was ugly I was talking more about the orange tune parts on it, on the website the painted Archons look much better than the plain one. But the paint job is no good ? Looks beautiful on their website. I was actually considering the blue, for that price tag it would want to have a decent paint job.
I saw it at La Bicicletta in Toronto and was not impressed with the lines. Little bubbles and tears. I think I would go nude before getting the paint job.
