Are there any opinions on here as to how aerodynamic this bike is. I have decided to get are aerodynamic frameset and I like the look of this one. So given it appears to use all the tricks is it a wise buy or should I just get one of the usual suspects cervelo s5 for example.

Hi,
you should check with Jedi Sports in Germany which sell Cervelo and Look. Symen who owns JS is a nice person.
Go ahead and ask her a bit of these frames.
Good luck!

I think I read somewhere that the brakes on the aerolight are not compatible with campagnolo brake levers can anyone conform this maybe pez I know he has at least ridden one. Also cable routing for the aerolight how annoying is it. I like the idea of what they have done but given I am a mechanic with little spare time what I don't want is a bike that is simply a pain to maintain. I suspect this is not going to be a big issue but how long has it taken some one to cable up the brakes and install di2 to this bike. I have worked on some bikes whose routing have been shall we say a pain like my wife's bike.

There is no major problems installing cables and Di2 wiring on 795, if you know what you are doing.
795 Aerolight frame comes with preinstalled rear Direct-Mount Shimano brake that is in the price of the frame.
So ditch the campagnolo and buy Shimano Di2 if you want 795, simple as that.

Well I enquired about the look frame today and frameset only is possible ten week wait though for the xl size just waiting on a price. But I think this will be no. 15. Might have to sell a couple to make space though.

I saw one the other day and it didnt impress me aestethically. But if you like it plenty of reviews say the frame with the integrated everything is not worth it, the option with the regular is cheaper and better

I disagree a little. I'm sure that the fully integrated version doesn't justify its price tag entirely, but if I was going to get a 795, I'd feel I'd half-arsed it if I didn't go all the way.
