My new bike

[allezhopper]

Allez,i agree with you,and if i was looking for my Ribble carbon now i'd probably have one of the white ones... But,it is nice to see a subtle all black bike..very understated with the red on black decals.
..and a matching black and red helmet.. very nice.

Absolutely agree with you

My Allez is white, black and a bit of red. I didn't really want a white bike again (the 2012 CAAD10 3 is matt black/black) but then again value for money wise on the 2011 bike ... well let's just say: You can take the man out of Yorkshire, but you can't take Yorkshire out of the man!

Very nice bike.. very understated against the usual white 'look at me' bikes.. although if it was mine i'd probably have white bar tape and saddle.. and ruin the look

I like the white bar tape and a saddle in white! I know they get a wee bit grubby (Dirty) but I like the white for seat and ; hands! Both my road bikes have white saddles and white bar-tape.

Look bike, eh? Lovely stuff lad.

Confession time............ My LBS have just got me in a Look 695 I-pack frameset. Building it up with whatever I can afford after my 586 sells. (Got a guy interested through my LBS, on ebay but nothing near the reserve yet, time running out on there)
The matt finish 695 will probably be built up with Ultegra/Dura-Ace mix, I do like Sram but it's kinda expensive right now..... Ultegra works well and is half the price! Will look similar to the link when I'm done, except mine will have black bar tape and black cables, a pro-logo scratch black saddle, and my Zipp 404's, destickered to keep it understated.....
