Except that seatpost, just looks so out of place.


Agreed, that seatpost makes that look so 1990s.

Kinda like this.

The new cannondale pro team kit reminds me of the classic Kelme kits of the 80s and 90s...

Cannondale has the worst kit this season. Looks like absolute shit.

Yep. That disc cover looks horrible. It might be just as fast as a real disc but looks count for everything. Reckon they'll be using unbranded Mavic discs instead?

Also, Vuelta route announced a few days ago but not seen too much chat.

11 uphill finishes and the Angliru the day before Madrid. Looks like a climbers paradise.

I know it's nothing new, but these bars seems extremely narrow for Hansen's size.

What I don't really know is what's the benefit?

But the HED Stinger disc is UCI legal, but it is a spoked wheel with a permanently bonded cover. I assume this Vision disc is utilising the same construction.
