That makes sense.

You could also just buy a really tiny bike for dirt cheap and set that up for time trials if you wanted a separate bike solution. But really, you should just pick up a Felt DA because I want to see one in person.
The aerobars I have do attach underneath, but I do want to get lower.
BTW Hector sent me a Bonktown link with a Quintana Roo DA equipped TT bike for way less than 2K last week in my size. Pure evil.
