Pro Bikes of the 2019 World Tour
 
https://cyclingtips.com/2019/01/pro-...ens-worldtour/

feel free to delete if it's already been posted, haven't seen it yet though

if we were to rank aesthetics...
IMO:
-always love the lotto-soudal ridleys, most of the canyons, and the oltre
-the merckx is ugly. sorry.
-trek will continue to make the logos on the aero madones bigger each year until they have no room
-and why did cannondale pick that font..?

overall an okay year of bikes.

The Ridley actually looks a bit like a road bike... rather than a time trial machine. :confused:

Oh, yeah... and it's built with Campy. :D

so many boring black bikes this year.

I feel sorry for every single one of those bikes.

It looks proper to me.....

The Ridley is the best of a very bad bunch. They're all as fugly as sin, wouldn't spend a cent to buy any of them.

Truth
 
I like the Cannondale, Trek and Specialized, the rest I would try to scrape off the bottom of my shoe.

Oh, good, I thought it was just me!

Absolutely horrendous looking bikes, and somehow, very depressing. All black plastic and marketing, and not much else...

thanks for posting....alot of those bikes look beaten with an ugly stick before leaving the factory.
if i HAD to pick one, id go with the giant or maybe the colnago

OK, so I am old and slow.
But all I can think is how ridiculous I would look atop one of these things.

If any, the Bianchi least staying with their famous color.

El Chaba 01-15-2019 07:08 AM

I agree with the others...This is a vomit-inducing lineup.

I must be getting younger and younger. I don't think most of these are that bad. A lot of them are boring (black bikes are boring, period), but there are some nice looking bikes in there.

Canyon for me, out of a not too jazzy bunch. The S-Works BORA-HANSGROHE is somewhat oddly satisfying.

I concur on all points...
