Saw the Ineos F12 at Tour of California this past weekend. The crinkle on the top tube didn’t looks as bad as the pictures.

Have any of you guys an idea about the difference between these two forks options? (i can tell the one is more aero than the other, but no specification online)

Sure isn't anything graceful about that. All those swoops and nothing cohesive so I guess it matches up well with the rest of their product line.

Doesn't matter. All the dentists will be happy.
Interesting you say this because I never like Pinarellas because of those things you mentioned, especially the wavy forks and because every Tom, Dick and Harry has one of them in my area; they sell a lot to one of the clubs I ride with because of club sales. I saw an F12 at the LBS the other day while getting my final fit for my bike and the guy working on it said to me "this is what you should get" Nah, it just doesn't put a sparkle in my eye. I've never been attracted to those bikes. What is it?

Still perfectly happy with my F8. Nothing too drastically different on the F12 to warrant an upgrade.

Nope, its an f12 - sorry.


I found out that the first one is an option, but UCI approved.

LOL, I’m with man. You got to be a complete moron to even think about that. Kind of like paying $5k USD for a made in China wristwatch.

What about the one Froome crashed on? I bet that one is cheaper as long as the snot is wiped down.

Yeah like what? Almost all CF bikes are MIC and all are stratospherically high priced.
