People are excited about the new Specialized Transition mainly because Macca won the World Championship Ironman in Kona with it. Orbea has to be proud to come in second with Craig Alexander riding the 07 Ordu.
no...by 'catch up', the LBS guys were talking about technology. they were talking about wind tunnel tests, weight, the advantages of a more aggressive riding position, etc.
are they right? who knows...but the LBS guys believe the the Cervelo is still the fastest tt/tri bike on the planet in model year 2008...unless the specialized dethrowns them...
