I have to admit that it looks great!
As sexy and muscled as the first RB100 but with a less aggresive drop. Well done Cipo.

Damn, he looks like the hulk. You have to respect a cyclist that doesn't get fat after retirement.

Cipollini bikes do look aero but are they really? Have they been designed with the use of an aerotunel or do the just use aero designs for styling? Always wondered...whatever the case may be, they look bloody amazing!!!

No, these frames are not really aero (like a Madone, an S5, etc. HOWEVER... you can get a very low position on them (due to their short headtubes) so the frame-rider system can be more aero than most.

Not always but usually it does. That's the main advantage of a short headtube. It enables to get an aggresive-aero position.
