The SPECIALIZED NOT used by Cancellara in the wc Times trial

[zazenzach]

wine. i saw. i conquered.

still makes sense LOL

[kzr83]

I agree, stunning bike, but being picky... that "vini" mistake... puts me off. It should be corrected, then all will be stunning! ^^

[jan123naj321]

vini vidi vici is really wrong

it should be veni vidi vici

vini = wine !!!

[joshuas141]

Dear Specialized, woudl you mind giving me a custom bike? please :)

[JeDaaRe1]

Why doesnt he ride with this one?

[clamboni9]

@JeDaaRe1 The frame doesn't meet UCI regulations. It's illegal. The new version of the Shiv lost that nose cone on the front of the head tube and is legal.

[kennethcoomans]

nice how much schould it cost? xD

[FreddyFredstar]

It has to be vEni, vidi, vici!

The bike looks good, but I don't understand, why there is a normal bottle cage.

It would be better, if the handlebar worked as a reservoir.

[fidlar09]

@FreddyFredstar I agree with you and i have to say they could have done better job on the fork make a built in whiter bottle like the Cervelo P4 and make the crank much i mean much different it seams like it is a fixie just because of the colors!

[SoCalRiderss]

Replay....Replay ......Replay....Replay... lol

[v35k037V]

I can haz ?

[MrTypea]

You obviously do not know bicycles! This is a Specialized Shiv!

[ivanwarlord]

whats the sprocket size on that beauty?



[crazymike44]

@ivanwarlord  Size Huge!

[ivanwarlord]

@crazymike44 ha well of course, looks like its a 60+ teeth size

[ausTopGear]

i call shotgun!!!

yes, got it!

[MrBasuso]

ah ok thanks,later that day my father explained me the meaning,but thanks anyway :D!!!

[MrBasuso]

what means vini,vidi and vici?

[ZZZhiloZZZ]

@MrBasuso He saw,He came, and he left

[zepizas]

@ZZZhiloZZZ  almost that; "I came, I saw, I conquered" is a famous Latin sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC

[MrBasuso]

wait,he didn't used it?money bad spended,if i had that bike...

[TimpBizkit]

Looks like a bitch to ride up hills - but hey it's a flat ground race, so every bike has it's purpose. This is a high speed cruising machine!

[ynotnilknarf39]

Sorry it might be a helluva fast bike and very very efficient at transfering power but that is a DOG of a bike to look at! I use 55t for my speed record attempts, an old Williams chainset I had had a 60t big un. bugger to shift :o)

[daveloebs]

i think i counted 56 teeth on that chainring, wtf who rides this and when!?!

[MAN1UAL2]

X2!

[HeartCrashes10]

I would die for such bike :)

[wannabeuk]

Did the Yanks spell Veni wrong? Jeeez ... No wonder he didn't use the bike - he'd be too embarrassed to be riding on a typo!!

[colinprprpr]

is that back wheel like jesus pro?

[Gambocontorto]

I want that

[FrengoG]

€ 14.000,00

[pcfxer]

This bike is actually sexier than any Colnago, Gitane, Bianchi, Peugot, etc. WONDERFUL!

I'm glad I don't own it, It would need a restraining order ;).

[thedude73]

this bike gives me a boner

[Spidrunkrit]

THESSS ESSS SWITZERLAND!!

[ILYBNG]

Normaly i hate gold on bikes.

But here it looks really great

[kostas7896]

the bike is just extraordinary but the spartan the the swiss flag is failure...

[duinthadope420]

Fabian cuts through the competition like a hot knife through cold butter, as always.

[kujasmin]

it looks like the bike that got banned by UCI later on...

[simplybmg]

dios que preciosidad :P!!

[starboard135]

He's not allowed to use it. The UCI prohibited it's use as they ruled the nose cone designed to be a fairing and not functional. So Spec came up with the Shiv3, and went back to a more exposed front brake design.

[phillyvinilli]

sexy

[benoit18208]

c'est vrai que le moteur est invisible !.. lol

[clayker39]

@benoit18208 ce nest pas vrai. il na pas de moteur dans la velo hahahahaha

[slip4vale4knot]

very niceeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[bobbygnosis]

That'd be my weekend bike. To show people how much of a baller I am. My race bike would be the super beat-up, but perfectly functioning one.

[saucy05]

Damn the swis got the best flag too. The white cross with the red background just oozes simplicity and class.

[LittleMegha]

Beast Machine for a Beast Rider.

[scheersje]

it's veni haha

[chapusa100]

Oh my Word! It has a Sram Group set! What a Beautiful Machine!

[danilski]

mitico fabian, il migliori di sempre

[thepetetyphoon]

that bike obviously does not weigh a tonne, its carbon numb nuts

[miloadv149]

of course its for road use !

[Lurchbuster]

I came.

[vadarfone]

I bet that thing weighs a tonne... :/

[cfalberg]

@vadarfone it weighs probly still under 18 pounds with all that gear on it. minus water bottles and stuff it weighs 16 pounds

[vadarfone]

@cfalberg I was exercising the art of sarcastic wit. Do try to keep up...

[L0wnyus]

why did he not use it?

[grego10r]

@L0wnyus coz this one did not have electro motor in it lol

[rafytafonso]

Realmente ... pedauis de Btt ?!

[vittorioatzeni]

è solo x pubblicità... not for road use i hope...

[Merestrubes1]

pedal de MTB!?

[dewulf2]

no, just speedplays

[D370n470r]

@Merestrubes1 Não, é um speedplay, o pedal é pequeno, mas o taquinho é bem grande.

[bassmart08]

what a cool bicycle! cool crank/arm, breaks, cable housing, paint job and shifters.

[tonalli92]

I just can say 2 words for describing this bicycle: Fucking Beautiful!

[shekmac]

e' un aereo non e' una bicicletta

[sprintbass]

i take it back...he does have a smooth style...but he is just so damn muscular its distracting...either way he is tremendous and awesome..

[cocon57]

im trying to make mine distracting 2!

[sprintbass]

my god thats got to be a 55 tooth chaing ring...the color on the bike isnt my thing..but the bike its self is very cool...soon ill have a tarmac myself! i like Fabian Cancellara alot..i really hope he has a long and trouble free career when he TT's he doesnt screw around..he may not have the smoothest style but my god the power he generates..as cyclist go he is rather large..but thats a good thing in the tt..awesome

[austinton2]

candellara has the smoothest style. Probably one of the best bike handlers out there. And he's got to be great with rhythm on an ITT

[durhamsshadybean]

He rides a 54, only one tooth up on the normal...

[odisseo1982]

Ma sul piantone ha scritto "VINI" al posto di "VENI"!!!

[cyclingIT]

VEro, hai visto bene! bel refuso!

[danilski]

@odisseo1982 non l' ha scritto mica lui...sicuramente qualche crukko che si è sbagliato...

[MSR797]

@odisseo1982 si è confuso invece di veni ha scritto vini per sfottere un po' vino(kurov) che partecipa alla crono dopo aver scontato la squalifica per un emotrasfusione

[Castyo]

@odisseo1982 probabilmente intendeva proprio il vino :D
