Heard of these guys? Saw an advert today and checked their website. Impressive design, wonder how it rides?

I think I recall seeing one on the cover of Cycling Plus recently?

Good looking machine. About time roadies got with modern braking systems.

Available at Harrods. "Prices start at £21,995"

It uses our data logging system

Serious bit of kit, but soo very expensive, apparently is designed and marketed for teams to develop riders on..

If only there are two of us here who want a go, not having much luck. Beru are being very secretive about it!

All the reviews I have read have not been positive.

They had one of these in Castle Park in Colchester at the finish of the tour stage yesterday. Beautifully fininshed machine, but no granny ring & knobbly tyres, so not for me

I saw this at the Tour Of Britain a couple of days ago. Bloke pushed it passed me as I stood there with my gob on the deck.

Really really cool looking thing.

looks very nice,think in the two reviews i have read about it it is only its data logging abbilities that set it apart..as a bike it only middle of road,last words were it rides no better than any 3000 pound bike.And is not in the same league as high end bikes from the likes of pinarello ,cervelo,colnalgo and the many other high quality bikes out their.be interesting to see if much of its technology filters through in to main stream bike building.it has hydraulic disc brakes which if memory serves me right can be specced in ceramic..i think should shave your speed off pretty quick even on the steepest decending.Also like the the way handlebars are directly connected to the forks which they claim makes it steer more precise..would love to have it for a day and see how it compares to my well set up and specced eddy merckx

I think I mentioned there was one in the Science Museum in the F1 display in the previous thread too...

[anonymous-user]

as i said before, its sole purpose is to relieve rich solicitors of their cash and to provide a talking point at dinner parites. the R&D dept of cervelo must be still laughing....
