Wot? Shimano? That green is the Merida house colour, I believe.
Lampre leaving blue for green would be scandal. Scandal, I say!

Geez, call me stupid, but that Merida is one of the worst looking bikes I've seen lately. Yuck.

But none of them look as bad as the Cervelo S5 with the new paint job.

In the flesh, it's a whole lot better looking.

so would the Lampre kit color change to Green/Pink then to match the bike? I think that is breaking some old un-spoken rule about there team colors :mrgreen:

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that blue thing over the rear wheel?

You're joking, aren't you? :) Simple SKS fender I assume, but in blue (don't know why actually).

I said to pardon my ignorance, and I haven't used fenders in the last 40 years. So that "fender" actually does something useful?

I didn't mean to offend you! Sorry for misunderstanding. Yup, a couple of my friends use the same one except for the colour. It keeps your a** and back clean. It's poor when you ride in a group as it doesn't protect others from water from the wheel. There are better fenders, some made especially for road bikes, but this is cheap and can be adjusted pretty quickly to different bikes.
