Just engaging in a frivolous moment of bike Pron and was wondering if anyone here knows why the team Sky bikes have the "wobbly" fork?

It's so people know you are riding a really expensive bike

Apparently it's for vibration reduction and ride quality, I think they did a lot of computer modelling to come up with them

Looks like an anti-gravity device as the bike appears to be hovering.

At that price it should be able to do it on its own.

I've never been that impressed with the looks of the Dogma. I wouldn't turn one down if someone offered me one, but there are a lot prettier top end bikes out there.

Looks like the bikes they'll be riding in the Tour are actually slightly less fugly http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17546_9329708,00.html
