    Didn't the early Trek Fuels, or maybe it was the Gary Fisher Fuel clones, have that same carbon pivotless rear triangle?

    I didn't like it then either.

    The clientele that buy this bike won't actually have any clue, or care, how it actually rides.

    Not sure, but the voice sort of reminds me of the guy that does the Monster Truck voice overs...
    "ONE DAY ONLY, GROUND POUNDING THUNDER! "

    Actually, that would have made it entertaining.
    Parody video anyone?

    That would be the ultimate bike to ride a flat gravel rail trail.

    The first bike I ever lusted after was a pinarello time trial bike with the spamantti(Sp?) paint job. I was probably about 10 and saw that thing in the LBS. The new carbon frames just don't have the beauty and distinction of the old steel from Italy. That and a Colonago are still on my dream list!
