Hmm, see what you mean about the Bianchi's. First one definately looks like it hit all the branches on the way down. Looks rather similar to a £99 Argos MTB.
Having said that, the 'Dales & Titus bikes look really nice. Titanium & carbon fibre ? I need to have a cold shower...

 yep, that bianchi looks poo. What was the design ide behing having a pipe bolted in the middle of it?
|
|
 Looks like there's truth to the rumour that Bianchi bought the rights to the Giant NRS design then: pictureSo Bianchi definitely make one bike that works extremely well...

Indeed, almost inline rocker and seatstay, and very low HL pivot.
|
|
 Bianchi should stick to what they're good at. That's one danm ugly bike.
|
|
 i usually have a strong stomach, but that bianchi....
i'm liking the cannondale chase though :-)

ner ner ner ner :-P
|
|
 Holy insecticides ! it sure is oogly!
|
|
 we'll try and find out some more info on the bianchi range, particulary the Havra
|
|
Any info on the 928 SL, that's the one I may have to buy.
|

 That exogrid Titus is incredibly sexy. So much so that I don't even care about the weight or ride characteristics, its just so bootiful.
Drooooollll.......
|
|
 What kind of a name for a bike is "Perp"?
It sounds like someone let out a little fart.
|
|
 Yup, thats the Renault NRS patent on the Bianchis. The XC version looks good though those round tubes on the big rig look retro. Looking at all these ugly new bikes makes me fonder of my old 92 Giant. It still looks just right to my eyes.

.jpg_little.jpg) Orange 224 ugly bike.
I would go so far as to say that any of the Orange bikes look like they have been soundly thrashed with a great big ugly stick.

I like the butch simplicity of Orange bikes Dean, like a Lamborghini
tractor.
|
|
 Lol, its not how it looks though John, its how it performs;-)
|
|
 That ugly Bianchi is (wisely) not being brought into the UK by Bianchi UK. A lucky escape... :-)
|
|
Says the man who rides a pink Bianchi :-0
|
|
 The Exogrid Titus' are stunningly pretty, but they're not new, infact they've not really changed for at least 4 years, save for having a new carbon swingarm in 2006.
Think the UK retail price on one currently is around £2500ish.
