That bike looks AWESOME. Makes me want to take up time trialing so I can have an excuse to buy one. Oh, and I have to win the lottery as well.

Just write if off as "an essential wheel evalutation device". I mean, how else can you really speak to the needs of your TT riding customers?

Hating a 'drivetrain' choice on one bike vs. another is as imbecile as people getting into fist-fights at a motor race that they are not actually racing in Australia over a debate between two car companies. It really is ridiculous.

Although not neccessary these days with the ability to do field testing with a PM, time in a wind tunnel offered me a clear insight into how even very minor position changes can make a big impact on drag...

Photos above would have been taken purely for advertising, so gear selection would be irrelevant...

Gear selection matters in advertising... big chainring and small cassette cog
