What frame are they using? Obviously not a Fuji Aloha.

I don't think so. The seat tube looks curved like a P3 unless it is just the way the photo was taken.

after looking at it i agree with you, the SS/CS dropout juction is different too.

That particular bike is the P3 but Rollin and Ivan(at least) are on the CF1. Ivan actually rides the CF1 for his regular race bike too. I'm sure most of them are on the Fuji, not sure why he's on the P3.

That particular bike is the P3 ...

I don't think it's a P3. Vertical vs. horizontal dropouts. Bulges on the down tube. Seat tube not following curve of rear wheel.

i know this is going to sound stupid-

but with that "belly" of a downtube... it almost looks like a bianchi :eek:

Ya know, you're right. I quickly looked at the seattube curve and headtube "bulge".

The downtube should've given it away.

Similar, but the toptube and downtube look different to me.

Its not a Bianchi, the top tube doesn't slope down towards the headtube.
