PINARELLO!!!!!!!!!!

AND HAVE IT PAINTED WHATEVER COLOUR YOU LIKE

The Parlees look awesome but those lumpy lugs remind me of Raleigh DynaTechs from the eighties.

The Pinarello is a monster, the stays and fork just look dumb. I can't see that the profile of those tubes achieves anything, either structurally or aerodynamically they exist because the designer wanted to build in some 'wow/look at me factor. It's a confection, a poseurs bike and that's enough for me to drop the Prince of of the equation.

The Cervelo though is an absolute stunner, every tube profile is there for a reason. Wicked bike.

Agreed.
Pinarello is fuggin ugly (and I used to adore Pinarello's), but the Cervelo is the muts-nuts. There are 2 at our club. Sublime.

i believe there is a point to the wonky forks of the pinarello. something to do with cornering.

you can't paint a cervelo to the colour you want. also, you are spending £5G so obviously you want to pose and as stated the pinarello is a poseurs bike.

Going purely on the aesthetics, I'd choose the Cevelo Carbon Soloist SLC-SL.

you seriously need to consider some exotica, i have a 6k bike and would be pi**ed to say the least if i saw another one floating around in my manor!
i urge you to do more research as you would be doing yourself a massive dis-service!
i nominate crumpton!
