Holy Sweet Mother Of Fuck That Battaglin Is Fucking Grotesque

Jesus, no.  Sure it would be easy to dunk on that abortion for the color or the fork, but gods the chrome lugs are the worst fucking choice for that thing, atmo.  If your lugs are going to be clunkier than the original Columbus Max lugs, don't draw attention that way.  It's as if they learned nothing from graceful Max-tubed frames.  (Narrator: They didn't.)  Ditch the fork for an Enve.  Ditch the babyshit brown color.  No chrome lugs.  Paint the fork to match the frame.

Or even better, get a frame built with Max tubes.  Or get a frame made with Sachs over-oversized tubing and some proper lugs and proper matching steel fork with that great fork crown.  But this Battaglin?  Nah.
