as long as it's aero, I'll allow it.

it won't be long before the seatpost is integrated into Gunter's ass, compliments of an unseen pothole.

Are there any reports on how a bike like that rides? I'll never know. I'm sure it would collapse the minute I hauled my 16 stone unto the saddle.

It's an interesting bit of engineering, mostly of my wallet, but I'll wager we've long passed the ROI for weight and road cycles need to pursue aero instead.

insane. and aside from the bar setup, it looks way good

I'd love to see someone with one of these superlight bikes show up at a long climbing ride...

Fixed.

By the way, I have cats that weigh more than that bicycle. In fact I'm pretty sure we have squirrels in the yard that weigh more than that bicycle.

i think i've actually read something to this affect in an article somewhere. the light bikes are light enough...and the return on investment is ********. aero and still relatively light is the way to go for speed...

How much more for a bit of aesthetics?

Form is generally on the bottom of the list of component characteristics for Weight Weenies.

this is dumb. and no he does not use this exact set up to ride. also these bikes are prepared for shows to be like this. almost contest like. A guy I ride with and we share the same mechanic ( Victor - M2racer) does this with his ruegamer every trade show. it's cool but he does not ride it when it's down to 8 lbs or whatever. He does ride it at 10.75 lbs however. i would like to see the flexablity of this SPIN frame as victors frame is a complete noodle.

I was in Albany doing a group ride with a former club mate who lives in Troy this weekend.
Where in Troy? Does your friend race with a team around here?

Where did you guys ride?
