Not quite the same as the SLR01. Stack is higher and reach is shorter etc. That said Cadel Evans is riding one now so it can't be too bad...
I write the weightweenies blog, hope you like it :)

They may or may not be still available but Storck is a King of Aluminum Frame design and Construction.

You can get it with a Stiletto 300 Fork.

Back in the early 2000's Storck would win all the Tour Tests with it's Aluminum Frames.

Cycling Plus would also wax poetic about there capabilities.

It seems there are still some great frames out there besides the obvious Caad and specs allez. Allow me to add the Isaac Graviton.

Ah, I didn't realise. Still at least a reasonably racy geometry.

It appears Giant have dropped them for 2016 (at least in Australia anyway, not sure about other markets).
