Very thin seat stay! Is it a climbing machine? The r5? The s5 is fugly IF your height is nowhere around those tall mat saleh as your seat post height going to be low and s5 is known for its ugliness..at least to my eyes

unless it is as shown in the picture posted by butthead then that one is pretty.
I'm so gonna get the edge 810!! . My friend bought an edge 500, 2 weeks ago..pity him
R5 is a climbing rig while the S5 is their aero armada...
The S5 is actually quite pretty is real life... i've seen a VWD before at bikehous... and the R5 also has very big sizes like 54, and 56cm... it looks equally as strange as the S5 in those sizes...tall head tube and big sized frame...
look at hyjedals bike...size 56 if i am not wrong for his height that is well over 180cm....i don't think it's the frame size playing with how the bike looks like.. but rather, the huge amounts of bar drop he can tolerate... huge bar drop makes a bike look sexy...

this looks to be a smaller size by the look of the head tube length.. bar drop, i'd say more or less the same as our own bikes...
