i think frames are getting light enough, i think stiffness and ride quality is something they should work on; oh and more FRAME SIZES

but i do welcome lighter frames (im still a WW) as long as they pass the EFBe bike test 100.000 x 1300 N

ITS A TIME TRIAL BIKE! YEAH ITS EARTH SHATTERING!

Can't touch the Isaac Carbon Joule IMO. Also, claimed to be only 1240g frame + fork.

350 fork

1450 total

Fork and stem are integrated, so this gives a nice weight advantage, but it's real light.

That bike is very lightweight, very aerodynamic and very nice

After I showed one of my friends, and he asked "I wonder what happens with a huge crosswind?". How do you think it would handle it?

Those Zipp Decals have the Phonak (Green+Yellow) colours. Nice.

Any suggestion, are those light carbon frames stiff?

TT-frame should be extreme stiff or there in no poit to pedal hard.

I started to think getting some super sexy carbon TT-dream in next winter but I afraid to buy something exotic frame like Kuota, Isaac etc. Trek would be sure buy but not very light and way expensive. I think 2500€ would be my limit for frame. Walser would be also very nice but I don't like the seatpost system, it costs too much and don't allow to use stand wheels.

I would be very nice I Tour-mag would make test about them...

kinda funny thing is tho... amateurs who spend so much time over TT frames... which aren't even the biggest source of time savings in a TT...

the difference between a good frame and a bad one is small

the same can't be said about body position, bars and wheels.

by the way, I have custom build ti-TT frame to my ideal body position, custom build composite elbow pads to 3TTT Hero bar,I have worked aroud 3 years my currest and hopefully last riding style/stradegy.
I ride yestesday 52km with 44.4km/h average speed. Now I can say there are only 14 faster men's in Finland...Jukka Vastaranta won. You may know him if you read Procycling mag. My wheels were Campa Chibli/Mavic Cosmic Carbone. Vittoria Evo tubular rear/Michelin Service course on front. Bell "pump" helmet and Shimano shoe covers, of course. I'm too heavy and only hobby rider. Avg. Hr was 186/93%.

It's great bike and I can see any ways to build it faster anymore. So say: "new frame"? Or SRM's+ lactic acid meter,hard diet after season and lot of sking....I'm should get all them?

Here it is in Saaremaa Vetotuur:
(Michelin tyres, Mavic Wheels,Comete/Cosmic, old modifield elbow pads)

My own wheel are Lightweights. 16/20 spokes and I'm getting their disk to next season. Chibli is best at now what I have ridden and HED worts. I must say again that Chibli is FANTASTIC! But pricy....

44.4Km/h average speed over a distance of 52K is real good for a "hobby rider" in my opinion

did tyler even ride that bike today? I couldn't tell from our coverage.

Not just Tyler, also Pereiro and Sevilla:

Nice pic
I was having trouble imagening the intigrated fork stem combo. Looks very cool indeed

sweet ride

Did you all get a shot of Jan's "Giant"

Looked very similar to his "Bianchi' of last year with a new paint job

He has some pull to get his Walser in

Actually I'm pretty sure it was a giant. Check the latest edition of velonews. There's an article on the US pro team Health Net's new giant carbon tt bikes, that would then be used by t-mobile in the tdf. They didnt have a sloping top tube like most giant bikes.....and believe me, health nets doesnt have the money to get any other kind of bike than what giant gives them.
