It would be more interesting if it was possible to ride with your own bike and have some recorded data.
Slot that data into a prog and it could tell you how other bikes/ frames and wheels would improve or vice versa, your end result.
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

Neat app idea... Wind tunnel sold separately :)

I do ride the old Venge and I do love it, but the new VIAS just doesn't do it for me. I don't have a word for it, but it just looks too outlandish and not enough like a bike. Out of the bikes in the poll, the S5 comes in as my first pick, just above the F8.

If I have to pick between my Aeroad and S5, on looks, Aeroad, on how I feel on it, the S5. I actually do have to pick so Large Aeroad on the classifieds shortly.

Also, the new foil is pretty impressive thus far. Though the integration on the front on a demo bike makes it hard to adjust to my ideal position. If I could cut the steerer and change out the stem, I'd have a better idea as to how it factors into the equation.

One more vote for the Propel. Switched from a Venge and they are close but Propel edged it.

Test rode a Felt. Propel much more pleasant to ride.

I have no bias when it comes to aero bikes but was just wondering if anyone out there would go for the Look 795 light/aerolight or Bianchi Oltre (ok I know it's probably not that aero).

Another vote for the Propel. Very comfortable and stable. Not to mention nice looking too IMHO.

I like to see what you guys say of Paul Lews (Reynolds Cycling) ideas of Aero?

He claims many of the thick tube bikes is not at all ideal. If i got one bike and took a wild card, i think i also would pick 795.
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)

Any of these options would be great. If I had to pick just one measly aero road bike, it would be the Giant Propel. I just, like it.

Why do small bikes always look better than large bikes? 56 Propel or Venge never look as good as a 52 or even a 54 like the Propel above.
