Well that was about a 6-8 week interruption in 'leaking' by Spec.

But that picture isn't about Specialized. Clearly it's an ad for Gaviria socks.

Hilarious. They go to all that trouble to make a bike as aero as possible, including really bad (but aero efficient) brakes, then go slap some disc brakes on the thing. I can hear it now ... "Wind tunnel tests show that rotating eggbeaters churning up air at the front really don't affect things that much". Yet a 4mm stationary cable housing exposed to air somewhere... Sin of all aero sins. Marginal gains be damned. Lol

Or they invented something that makes disc brakes more aero - and possibly more "save" at once?

Which did not get uci approval because it is a fairing?

I think you should go and ask your retailer, then we can quote it in the "stupidest things you've heard in a bike shop" thread.

Seriously bro, whenever you buy a bike they are already working on the next bike. The next big thing is always just around the corner. You decided that you wanted the Vias 1 and you got the bike that you paid for, regardless of what may or may not be released this summer.

Anyone who falls for that little bit of marketing spiel deserves to be parted from their money!

Looking good! They improve the one thing I wasn't crazy about: The V-brakes. :)
