Anyone have a built up pedalforce aeroblade that you could post a pic? Especially if its the 51cm size.....

Also, if you're riding this frame, your thoughts on how you like it would be appreciated!

I'm considering this frame for a TT bike.

Thanks!

Ive heard good things about this bike.

HAMMER MAN

never really looked at these bikes before.
I really like the looks of the road fusion but do not see any information of the aeroblade

Apparently it's the same frame as the Planet-X Stealth Pro.

Quite well regarded and fairly common on the Triathlon and club TT circuit around here.

It's a generic rebadged frame... and can be found from a number of sources....

Here's a link to a Karbona:

There's some pics at the bottom of the listing.... I think it's a 54cm though....

EDIT: very expensive though... seen a lot cheaper than that frameset....

I have an aeroblade and and older saber. The aeroblade seems more responsive but does not ride as well as the saber. The aeroblade tracks well and blasts the flats

I have easton TT bars on the aeroblade and they are a little narrow for me affecting the comfort.

Thanks....do you have a picture of your setup?

Thanks...yeah I've read many posts that have discussed the fact that this is an 'open mould' frame. Pedalforce seems to have the best deal on a frameset, and it sounds like folks here have been pleased with pedalforce on the roadbikes.

I hadn't read many posts from folks who are actually riding this particular frame though.

I believe they just position the top tube at different angles to get the fit....

48cm



Not EXACTLY the same frame (no "shark fins" on seat/chain stays)

51cm:

if you ask me... the large weaves are fugly in the pic... Could be of the flash though.....

This above photo is of the earlier model Planet - X were selling. Definitely not the same frame. It has a slacker seat tube angle.

Plenty of pages with discussions about the XDS-Carbon.com frame https://weightweenies.starbike.com/fo...er=asc&start=0 including a list of companies selling this frame. Also photo heavy with frames/bikes of all sizes including smaller ones.

General comments are that the frame doesn't have the greatest aspect ratios, but a reasonable frame for the price.

Look up "Dominique Cornu U23 World TT Champion 2006" in Google images.

Predictor Lotto also used the frame quite a lot. Cadel was the first to use it

As stated above, Dominique Cornu used it before Cadel...
