i don't think it is flashy enough. i mean really, this thing could get lost in a crowd in a second. what about some gold or silver or maybe some neon lights and a disco ball? just something to catch the eye ...

Those Roval wheels may be good, but they sure are fugly. Of the three big US brands (Cannondale, Specialized and Trek) I like the System 6 from Cannondale the best.

Just my opinion.

Boonen rocks though and the fugly wheels will sell like hot cakes when he wins a few races on them.

Let's revisit this thread the Monday after Flanders and see how many differences we spot between this and his race winning bike!

I'll try to be polite and say that the bike is very far removed from what my aesthetic sense considers to be beautiful...

It's ugly, but so what? It's a pro-bike. I mean I'm not going to drive a car with NASCAR decals all over it. Well, maybe if I lived in West Virginia.

I hope Paris Roubaix is really really muddy this year that should mute the busyness of the scheme. I like seeing this guy race, this bike will make it easier to find him on tv!

Now all he needs is the new uniform....

I believe they are riding Fulcrum wheels and campaganolo cranks)
