Just fell in love
 
https://eshop.t-online.de/WebRoot/St...20_Aerotic.jpg

I'm a roadie. I've been a roadie for 4 years now going from a Devinci Imola to a BMC SLC01 Promachine and now I need something for the time trials in the stage races. I've been hesitating between the Cervélo P3 Carbon and Specialized Transition. A friend of mine made me discover Isaac road bikes the other day, he bought the Impulse on eBay for $1,400 and now since I need a TT bike I just can't get my eyes off the Joule Aerotic geometry. Just simple and efficient with ultra high density modulus carbon.

What do you guys think about that machine?

Looks fast but how much does it cost?

It's gorgeous!!!

I'm sure this is a newbie question, but what are the little red flags on the spokes?

I like.

$2,595.00

I can't find any nicer TT framset bikes, anyone to challenge that gorgeous frame?

I'd last about 5 minutes on that thing. Be a hell of a 5 minutes, though.

orbea time trial frames look sharp.

I like the look of the Ridley's myself.

cyclefreaksix 08-11-09 03:13 PM

Love my ass, that's LUST brother!!

El Diablo Rojo 08-11-09 03:22 PM

According to our resident TT bad arse and newly crowned Texas State Champion the wind tunnel numbers were so so on this frame. I was looking at one earlier in the year too. The hot ticket money no object bike is the Ridley Dean...a close second and not as expensive is the Jamis Xenith TT.

That drop would wreck my vagina area. Just sayin.

It's sexy in the kind of way I look at a '64 Ferrari V8 engine and say damn, she's sexy. But it's not sexy in the way I look at a hot woman on the beach in a bikini and say, damn, she's sexy.

Wait until the new Felts are out. Some are in stores now, and the catalog should be out early September. But then again this could just be my own lust talking :)

Yep,
Pretty much out of business but they are still honoring warranty through another party. They were made by Martec which make many a high end CF, but my Isaac is no better a frame than a Pedal Force or my Mongoose. Different ride qualities, but not "better". If you can snag one on deep sale, they are worth it but I was proactive enough to have them ship me an extra derailleur hanger, headset and expander plug before closing up shop.
