Olympia Ikon Di2 - nicest photo I have ever posted ;)

Very quick overlay of the Scott Foil vs. the Olympia Ikon:

[Wingnut]

Well done prendrefeu...similar around the fork/headtube but differs around the sea tube etc

[Murphs]

Not that it matters at all, but it reminds me more of an Orbea

[kavitator]

much nicer than Foil...and it is not SCOTT
great photo

Nice frame.

Checked their Website, and the Boost model looks a bit like the Cipo RB1000. Is there a pattern?

[HOCHPROFIL]

yes it is...a 100% RB1000 Frame...but for only 1900€ instead of the 5.500 € for the Cippo...

Not quite, the most apparent difference is the Olympia's curved seat stays, vs fairly straight ones on the RB1000.

okay, agree...lets say 98%

So the Olympia is made in Italy too?

Surely not, given the price difference...

Hey Guys,

Well, I can tell you weight is about 1000 grams.
Our size 56 measured just a tad higher, though that includes the hidden battery harness slot for Di2.
Olympia is a big company with a large R&D budget, so I doubt they are copying Scott or anyone else for that matter.
The bike is finished in Italy, but produced where most carbon bikes are, btw.
If you are a real weight weenie, wait till 2013 for a new lightweight model to be released.

The bikes share geometries with Scapin, so they are time-tested and I personally love the handling.
I've been riding a Boost with EPS and have been VERY impressed with the ride quality, which I initially feared would be way too stiff for me.

Here is my Boost (please excuse the build details, which are temporary):


And a pic of an Ikon with Di2 that shows off the hidden battery aspect:


Feel free to PM me if you really want one this summer, otherwise new colours will be announced in late July and then available for order.

Best,
Mike
