Razors Edge ★ Posted October 21, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2021 Made me wonder if Specialized did one for Julian, and it sort of follows the "more is more" design ethos. About the opposite of Cannondales "less is more" approach. I think both are neat, but the C-dale one is classier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, it sure is shiny but it does not give me a lady boner like the Cannondale does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted October 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2021 I know women’s team budgets aren’t on par with world tour teams but dayum they couldn’t put her in Dura Ace… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both need real world testing, and maybe women's bikes are so darn light, that extra weight of Ultegra is a "good" thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno but it just seems to me a World Champion should be riding top end chit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted October 24, 2021 Share #15 Posted October 24, 2021 The use of disc brakes makes the geometry of the seat stays very interesting. It’s partially noticeable on the smaller cannodale frame. I don’t know if it makes a difference in handling, but it looks stiff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re thinking it could make the seat post more shock absorbent? I was thinking it would make the seat stays stiffer. Maybe both could be true, I don’t know.

Quote “On the impec as well a lower-slung seat stay and special flex zones in this area provide for the typical BMC mix of ride comfort with lateral stiffness and absolute handling precision. The low seat stay is a feature that you very quickly learn to value, especially on longer tours and the worst kinds of roads," explained BMC at the Impec launch. This design study has influenced all BMC road bikes since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted October 26, 2021 Share #20 Posted October 26, 2021 A little more info and photos on both the men's and women's WC bikes at BikeRumor. Both on the older Di2 11 speed. Maybe for next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
