Why do they restrict themselves to UCI standards? Is the market for these frames exclusively for cyclists entering UCI events? Chopping the back off an airfoil is valid aerodynamically but very much a compromise. As is the 3:1 length/width ratio to begin with. For real gains it should be 5:1 or 6:1 at least.
