Thing is, the French in general have always had an effortless style that us Brits don't really manage.. I'm not sure we're in a position to comment
tbh I think the chap there ^ looks pretty cool as cyclists go. I can see him on an old blue anodised Vitus, knocking out the miles. Maybe a silver one actually, matchy-matchy to that extent wouldn't be such a good look (I think / dunno)

Cheers CM not much louder than previous interactions but not at all quiet
Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
They always sound louder without a tyre on the rim so difficult to judge how loud that would be in the real world.
I find with the Pro2 and Pro4 if you just put a tiny bit more grease in they are much quieter.
If anyone really has objections to the sound of freewheels there's an easy answer..... fixed

Don’t mind a freehub buzz, sometimes seems more effective than a bell for letting walkers know you are approaching

Mais ouis, un qualitie 'tash.. Not really Tom Ritchey level though.

Goodbye Altus, Acera, Alivio and Deore. Hello CUES.
Shimano introduces CUES, integrating mid-tier groupsets into one product family
EDIT: Also bye bye to Claris, Sora and Tiagra...

Shimano introduces CUES, integrating mid-tier groupsets into one product family
Totally revamping how we’ve come to know the Shimano drivetrain hierarchy, Shimano says that CUES will “offer smoother shifting, more durable components, and standardises compatibility across a wide range of categories” in the lifestyle component lineup. The wide cross-compatibility of the CUES components should mean that repairs and upgrades are easier, as shops are not limited by the number of gears on the bike when it comes to replacing or updating components.
CUES, (which stands for "creating unique experiences"), is not a totally new concept from Shimano, as we've already seen it launched on the e-bike-specific electronic groupsets last year. Now, the CUES family is consolidating the mechanical mid-tier groupsets, meaning that whereas you previously had a rather clear hierarchy and limited cross-compatibility for example, between an Altus and Acera groupset, the CUES concept makes the mixing and matching of components across speeds much less of a faff.

There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.
Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
A couple of thoughts.
I wonder what's going to happen to 12 speed Deore if 10 and 11 speed Deore gets subsumed into Cues.
It's not backward compatible due to cable pull differences so upgrading when something breaks is going to be pricy.
Unless Shimano deliberately make it difficult it sounds like once the drop bar components are available it should be a lot easier to create a mullet drop bar setup with road shifters and mtb rear derailleur and cassette.

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
It being Linkglide means no backwards compatibility with legacy 10/11 speed, which isn't surprising really. I can see the sense in simplifying the lower end stuff and making it a bit sturdier and probably more appealing for OEM which is what this seems to be aimed at. If there's some cross compatibility between road and MTB stuff then that'd be good. Last thought: bit of a dull and odd name!

Aye shame to lose 'deore' as it's been around since the very beginning...

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
They must surely rank as one of the worst frames ever made. My brother-in-law had one, I had the correct stuff to glue it back together, he'd show up with the bike in the back of car every 3 months for some repair or other. Sean Kelly rode Vitus when he was with Kas. He was singing the praises of the bike on TV at the time and the interviewer asked how often he changed the frame, Kelly replied "every race".
Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
Kelly was a consummate professional, the bike he was paid to ride was always best he had ever ridden. Sean Kelly rode Vitus when he was with Kas. He was singing the praises of the bike on TV at the time and the interviewer asked how often he changed the frame, Kelly replied "every race".

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
Most bike journalists don't seem to have a problem with regurgitating the stiffer, faster, more compliant line in their advertorials, sorry reviews. Same for the influencer crowd. At least Kelly was honestIf every bike got better, Did he start off on a folding Raleigh shopper out of the canal ?

No, need…
Really really like the front fork idea from the 1120. Was quite tempted at times to buy one…

This statement gets confirmed every single time an idea to travel through seemingly impossible conditions on a bicycle becomes reality.
Me likes.
No need either, already ride an exped tested fattie.
But always thought much of the 2 gen Farleys.
Only once used Barbegazi and wasn't a fan of the flimsy sidewalls. Shame, it's a fantastic tread.

Quite like that, although I'm not really a rack man given my somewhat tame adventures. Looking at the line up at the ITI I could see this being the business for some of those load outs mind.
*sigh* I'll stick with the ICT.
