I do design engineering, and I know the difference between engineering and industrial design.<br /><br />Italians want their stuff to not only perform, ie. Lamborghini but they also have a strong sense of showmanship, ie. Prada and Armani.<br /><br />In this case its really very simple, and so obvious, I can't believe I might just be the only person on the internet outside of Pinarello who sees it. The forks are styled to look like a woman's legs! Unlike the earlier curved forks, there are clear design features that imply calves, knees, and thighs, albeit very skinny and waiflike, just like a supermodel.<br /><br />So its certainly nice looking, and does have a bike-frame-as-art aspect to it, but I think that these claims of it having engineering relevance are clearly suspect, if not outright naivette.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-4559839262394053222008-06-05T02:31:00.000-04:002008-06-05T02:31:00.000-04:00Hi Nice Blog .

Both just look like flashy Italian styling to the extreme.<BR/><BR/>The Onda kind of reminds of the the fork I had on an old Raleigh in the 80s... after I smacked that bike into a curb one night.James Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558670871159677266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-77149385758043774162008-01-30T12:37:00.000-05:002008-01-30T12:37:00.000-05:00Although I like Pinarellos, I am a bit cool on the...Although I like Pinarellos, I am a bit cool on the Onda fork/seatstay look. I suspect it is marketing hype but even if it does not do much it is very distinctive. I recently read a German article on Pinarello and the author wrote that all Pinarellos, except the Dogma, are now made in the Far East.

Alas it was not to be, for they don't make the Montello to fit me.
