I think that is Renshaw's bike, not Cav.

as far as it not being an aero bike.... given that he's at home and his home mechanic is building it, it's quite possible that the SLR is a training bike and he may race the TMR or SLR. They all have seperate training bikes and its not uncommon for their local mechanics to work on them, instead of team mechanics. When I was in Boulder a few years back, I stopped in Vecchio's and I had apparently just missed Taylor Phinney picking up his bike.

Rally finally announced Felt as their new bike sponsor. It’s been known that DiamondBack was dropping it’s competition road line for some time (Accell is the worst multinational.)

That will be great for the brand. I mean a competitive bicycle manufacturer would have to try really hard to remain more invisible in the road cycling scene than Felt. I think their whole lineup is pretty nice, so it's really a shame not much marketing effort has come through.

The Felt website scrolling banner has a nice pic of the new Rally bike.

I'd like to see some further development in the AR line, perhaps under the new team. Always been a fan of them.

I think he is on a 51... that's why the seatpost is not sticking out much. I'm roughly his height and ordered the 47cm frame myself
