By all rounder it doesn't look like it has been designed as aero at all costs but has a few more aero features. ISP? So last decade. _________________ http://www.blingmybike.com.au - Shiny light weight bike parts

You can see it all a lot better in that photo. Can see the Giant type seat post clamp on the aero seat post too. So now my only critisium is the lack of effort by only using standard brakes. Come on with the mini vs on the back on the fork and on the chain stays! I like the white on matt black. I could own one if the geometry suits. _________________ http://www.blingmybike.com.au - Shiny light weight bike parts

Some of us like braking power and Avanti understands that _________________ Slam your stem. prendrefeu wrote: 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.

With the lessons learnt from TT bike testing they must know the pros/cons and still choosing standard front mount/seat stay mount brakes for aero road racing bikes. I'm still very interested in the bike. Being a kiwi I'd love to fly the flag for a NZ brand. Like the paint and general aesthetics. Can't wait to see geometry. _________________ http://www.blingmybike.com.au - Shiny light weight bike parts

He is apparently in intensive care but his condition is improving. Thoughts are with his family. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-spor ... it-and-run
