My first real bike was a Novara and I still had it up until last year, when I donated it to a local bike co-op. It was great.

Why be mad about bikes on the internet?

The all road looks almost identical to my guru photon v.4 except it has disc brakes.

the ugliest thing going on in those pics is the hideous shimano levers. the bikes could have been staged better, but they're fine.

And they look even worse in person. What do they weigh, 900 grams each? I used to think the Microshift levers were bad.

I will give you that one, shimano really messaged up with those shifters. I mean most shimano shifters are ugly but the 105 hydros are just the worst.

They look like megan foxes thumbs. I think they did it on purpose so people spend more money getting the ultegra version (whatever name they are)
