I saw this post earlier, see no responses.
"Reserve now, and be riding the fastest triathlon bike on the planet in early 2017." I assume that means it's not currently in production, so you're looking for people's opinion of a to-be-built bike, not user experiences?
My opinion- for that kind of money- stick with a more proven brand.
One problem, saying the bike is the fastest/best, etc., everyone says that, so it's hard to get much meaning out of it. For example, I was looking at the Venge versus the Felt aero-frame bike. Both are "best", but apparently, one has lower drag straight on, one has lower drag when they allow for off-axis effects, so it just becomes a matter of who gets to spin the numbers the last time, rather than a clear-cut "this one is better".
"The Andean was built for triathletes who push themselves to their absolute limits. Long after most have quit, these racers double down and make their mark." That's a funny quote, the ad writers need to rework it. If you're out there after others have quit, it means you're losing, not winning!

I like the idea of the integrated storage, it's one of the reasons I bought a Shiv. The Andean is just a little over the top for me, though.
Also, just to nit-pick a little; setting the bike record would be a lot more impressive if he hadn't over-biked and fallen out of a podium spot on the run.
