Good, so it's not just me then. Campy is cool and all, but I always thought those looked like something you would urinate in while bedridden in the hospital. Cool bike as always leegf, don't get me wrong...

Haha, thanks. That bottle has all sorts of issues - it has a leaky seal, doesn't hold much liquid, and makes water taste like 30yo plastic - but I like it since it represents state of the art water carrying tech (so aero!) from that era. I have toyed with replacing it with one of these but can't quite get excited enough about them to do it:

I just can't help but think it would look better with a standard bidon.

But it is a Campagnolo bidon.

<EDIT> I learned a new word.....thanks!

Interesting to see that huge brace at the back of the stays on the cross bike. Is that for the torque of braking, on the rotor side only?

Also, what's the black rubber (?) piece at the fork crown on the mtn bike? Does that flex with fork travel?

I would imagine it is to do with bracing due to the fact it's running discs, it is a carbon frame if that makes a difference!?

The part on the forks on the Orange, is actually neoprene, and is a type of mudguard - http://www.rapidracerproducts.com/neoguard.htm

However I don't think it's as effective as something like the Mucky Nutz mudguard.
