Can't say I'm thrilled with the left exiting rear break cable, or for that matter, the behind the fork calipers. On the other hand, the Giant frame looks nice IMHO, and follows the trends we've been seeing in the industry over the last few years.

Ridley is the sponsor of Katyusha next year. You can trust Pozzato to make the best build possible with the new Noah.


Well you can trust him to do a build that is more akin to a little girls bike, perhaps this year he will go all the way and have ribbons on his handlebars and barbie on the headtube

3 pages of posts and all we get is a blurry shot from the grassy knoll, an ugly Canyon, and a TT bike. Come on guys. Let's see some more bike porn.

I completely agree with your post. This forum seems to be getting blogged up with basic almost beginner posts. Not saying that that's bad, but its not "Weight Weenie specific" (I'm not perfect either, but I don't add too much stuff to clog the forums). It is not what it used to be with a lot of insider information such as re-badging. I am seeing posts that do not add any information to the thread. Posts concerning EPO, or it needs more orange. I'm not attacking anyone specific. But saying their on EPO does not add to a "2009 pro team stuff" thread, it just clogs it up.

Pleas guys add informational stuff to this thread. Hopefully with pictures concerning 2009 pro team stuff.
Thanks.

Hmmm......

I guess I'm going to have to sit here and stare at that Ridley and hope it grows on me. It looks fast, but at the same time looks kinda fat and plump!

Actually road pros don't bother too much what mtb they're riding in winter; I know a lot of pros riding just a cheap alloy mtb for winter rides.

Is Valverde riding Skins on that picture?
