Theo Bos' crazy
Koga-Miyata KIMERA. This bike is supposed to cost, like, $3,000,000 and can go into space, or something. Actually, I'm not sure that's right, but either way, it's impressive. It's a bit of a pity Theo didn't make better use of it at the Olympics, though. He's still a freaking badass, don't get me wrong, but it just did not happen for him on the boards this year.

Yes! Finally! A picture of Joan Llaneras' Olympic
gold medal winning Cervélo P3C Track! I've been trying to get a clear photo of this bike since the Olympics, but no dice, till now. I love the paintjob. Unlike Bos' custom made monster, Llaneras P3C is built around the a standard
P3C frame, but with a different fork and a custom paintjob reflecting Llaneras' status as a world champion and olympic gold medalist. I love it. Photo from Eurobike by

Last and very, very definitely least, the brand new
Fuji Track Pro. It may not be anywhere near the bike of the other two, but it looks pretty good. That smaller rear triangle still annoys me, but on the whole this looks like a pretty solid entry into the mid-level track bike bracket. I wonder how long it'll take Fuji to shift all those old Track Pros they rebranded as Comps? My advice, paint 'em all celeste. Photo from Eurobike by

Thanks to Bill for the use of his photos! I know Eurobike was a while ago, but I've been holding onto these for just the right time to post them. I think this is a good post to start the weekend on, don't you? So, go ride your bikes!
