New team bike for 2017. Anyone have any experience with it? I've never seen one in person. We are getting them a bit late this year (few more weeks) and just wanted to see if anyone had ever ridden/owned one...

Seems to be this one: http://www.ktm-bikes.at/en/bikes/road.h ... 5bf8906456

The geometry looks strange, the angles are more like a TT bike - very steep seat tube, quite relaxed head tube. I'd need to find one of those 45 mm setback Ritchey posts to be able to fit on that.

That is a KTM Revelator. I have the 2015 Revelator Sky in size 57, which is the disc brake version and really like the design, especially the seat clamp, but also own a Scott Solace disc in size 56. Although the reach of the size 57 is tad long, the stack of the size 55 was to low, but the color scheme is a stand out (mine is more balance of orange and matt black), and out on the road, it rides nice, climbs well but while the design smooths out the bumps, some may find the turn in a bit lagging on circuit or criterium courses with lots of turns.
