Discovery (or USPS) have been using those bars or ones very similar for a few years now but normally only on Lance's bike. I doubt they'll be out for a while, but i could be wrong and they are nice.

Which stickers aren't lining up?

Definetly looks like a finished or close to being finished product! Will very likely be well out of my budget :(

the new brake levers are looking good, almost like a sleeker version of the Vison levers.

Pads are too thick! Needs dead strait extensions! Levers are nice though.

Top Marks Tillquist! :thumbup:

Is it me or do LA's bars look a little better than the others? Also i noticed that the new timetrial frame has an integrated headset and lances bike doesn't does the TTX that we can buy have an integrated headset?

That picture is of the blue TTX is the Equinox, a 76 degree STA tri bike yet to be released. Different than the TTX TT rig that most of the Disco guys are riding. Or at least I think...

The Hed 3 deep fornt is rare, I think there is only one.

The second picture is of a wheel that Hed made to be legal at Kona and no longer is. Only made in a rear I believe
