Aero Road Bikes Pics...
I am wondering if anyone besides Cervelo and Giant make aero road bikes. It seems that these bikes are uncommon as I have only found these two:
Do you know of any others made by major manufacturers or custom builders? Post a pic if you can.
Thanks a bunch.

Well the little fin deals on the Trek Madone frames are supposed to have a tangable Aero effect according to their wind tunnel testing.

I have to admit, I also like the Kestrel design. Very aero, for a road bike.

I really like the Cervelo Soloist Carbon, but it's a little out of my price range. About $5000 with DuraAce.
Maybe the AL Soloist?

You do know the bikes are more or less entry level tri bikes right? You aren't going to be any faster on it.

Now it seems like you dont want to hear this, but What the heck!
You should be focusing on your motor. Get that engine of your a roarin! Really try to get your own body into the best shape it can be (well...) and then reward yourself witht that aero road bike you wanted...
See I know you dont care but I am just trying to help!

Oh, but I do care. I train 5 days a week in the off season (now) and I know the importance of a good motor. Mine is good but there is room for improvement. So I will continue to train hard and tune the motor for next season.
I do plan to reward myself, but not until I EARN IT. I haven't suffered nearly enough for a Cervelo.
I have my own goals set for next season and if I am fortunate enough to achieve them I will be one step closer to that new ride. I just couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars on an aero frame Cervelo or Kestrel and not have the motor to power it along.
Thanks.

Seriously think about it, so what your frame is aero....thats all, you aren't any more aero, your helmet, your wheels, your clothes.
