Cunningly disguised as Looks so no one would know they weren't Cervélo's.

Parlee Z1, not a Cervelo! Hamilton and Jalabert had Parlees. Zabel had one too for a track bike.

He said some riders used Parlee instead of the Cervélos they were supposed to be on - then provided a photo of Parlees pretending to be Looks.

Does anyone know if Scott will be updating the foil for 2023?

Definitely not, it was upgraded already fairly recently - it was a very subtle update, mostly to feature ICR.mrbrown4001 wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 8:48 amDoes anyone know if Scott will be updating the foil for 2023?

I barely call that an update. The Madone OCLV 800 / T47 was a bigger refresh and it's being updated this year. Does DSM even ride the the Foil at all? It's a 7-year-old design.

Giant Propel, Cannondale SystemSix, Orbea Orca Aero
Ribble Ultra SL R, Merida Reacto, Canyon Aeroad
The hardest to ID for me was the Orbea, but the super deep HT was the giveaway. The Reacto was hard also if not for the Vision/FSA ACR bar/stem.
Aero data isn't driving it. It's the optimisation of a least worst solution under an set of arbitrary set of rules imposed by sock height zealots. I don't need a UCI compliant bike, could not care less. But I enjoy riding fast, everywhere. So I ride one of these souless beasts.

The steel bike era was way more souless, basically everyone one of them was the same. The 90's and early-mid 2000's had some super werid designs, but allot of them were just terrible. I am for a further reduction of frame shape rules. But bikes now are way more varied and purposeful than any other point in time if you remove the terrible designs from the 90s-2000sRadB wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:32 pmAero data isn't driving it.

Ha I have often joked second is the first loser. But that kind of thinking isn't helpful to enjoying riding in all forms, which I do, and being okay with things in general whatever happens. My next bike will be fast also, but I would like to devolve some of my rides to enjoy more time on the bike for the same distances.pmprego wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 2:42 pmI see that you are the type of person where second is the first of the last.RadB wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 1:32 pmAero data isn't driving it.

An evolution of the SuperSix evo appeared on the UCI approved list. I haven’t heard anything about a System six that is a mixed success, fast but with a so-so bike behaviour and even EF riders choose the SuperSix on the majority of the stages.cajer wrote:Are there any rumors of a new system 6?

That just means they need to make a new and improved system six :pC36 wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 11:21 pmAn evolution of the SuperSix evo appeared on the UCI approved list.
