I love the look of this rig so much I had to post it. Can't think of a pro bike I like the look of more.

It turned into a Pinarello!

[Bill Bove]

Stems too short :)

Nah, really. I think it needs white tape. Much better looking than Big Dumb George's National Champion Trek though.

Thanks for making me laugh! Real humor always has its feet planted on the truth.

Cheers!

I saw that pic and was going to post it but it was too painful. The consatina effect after this crash wouldn't put me off having one.

White tape would be nice.

[Big Dan]

Still a sweet bike.
Personally I would take a Team SC anyday of the week........

Never got these. Who would want a bike that looks like it has melted?

Thats what it looks like after a night with Keith Richards...

[learlove]

it looks like it bent/crumpled (all places) where the butting in the tubing went from thickness to a thinner thickness. almost looks like someone deflated it.

[AgilisMerlin]

didn't break apart. cannot believe it

the e-bay ad would read.
belgian championship bike...one of a kind.
ok shape but crashed only one time.
some parts perfect, some have consmetic nicks in the finish.
price new: priceless, you have to be belgian champ to get one
price with one month of use by a champion racer: $7,500.

this is a non rideable bike for display purposes only

Ugliest bike on the planet. How far the mighty have fallen....

[jthurow]

they're great pics of Nico... That guy always looks like he could ride through a brick wall. At least he wouldn't break his fork...
