Please note: both Scooter and I had lawyers.

I will try my old Alias 143 and if that doesn't work come back here for specific recommendations. Which will now undoubtedly flow like the inevitable DocRay anti-American diatribes.

give it a try- its quite an improvement over the stock Arione for this application.

I wouldn't say I'm more aero than Scooter. He was pretty slick.

Don't photos of cyclists/bikes look distorted/slower when riding right to left? That's why everyone who cares about these things photographs their bikes exclusively from the drive side (bike 'travelling' from left to right?).
I believe an important study of non-drive side photo distortion was released by the Oriental Coalition of Physicists a few years ago (OCP).

As sleazy posted - you should be on the nose of the saddle anyway. Go research on slowtwitch.com. They have an article on the seat placement.

>>Precipitously close to being antagonistic.<<
Botto doesn't consider this a precipice. To him it's a diving board.

Sleazy's TT bike is far more badass than Pcad's. Pcad is too slow to appear @ a USCF TT with a bike that looks like a Dept. of Defense research project.

I have a quality mirror that lets you see forward with your face looking straight down on Aero bars. You want it?
It works.

Of course in the nerdiest possible font.
The good news is that I've never seen a rear view mirror installed on a TT helmet.

It scared others they thought I could not see them. It's fast.
I do like diabolical plots better, it makes a much more interesting post.

You're trying to get me DQ'd at the starting line of my 2nd USCF TT for violating USCF regs, aren't you?
And I almost fell for it.

I had the LBS order a matching skinsuit and helmet today. I will be the fastest looking slow guy in USCF TT history. That's gotta be good for a BF thread.

Selle Italia Flight has a long nose and reasonable padding for a TT bike. You can get forward on the nose, yes still not so uncomfortable...

The saddle transplant is complete. It has yet to be Pcad rump-tested.

Be sure to give it a long break in period...otherwise you will be cheating yourself...
