I can go fast and thats not the problem, i'm not a pro but as everybody knows the aero bikes first of all are made to go fast, second they weigth a little more than "climming" bike, and the geometry helps you to go faster due to the position you are pedaling...

Not sure where you are located but Canyon AEROAD CF SLX 6.0 would be my choice. When ever they start shipping to the US I will buy

Yes and No, on an aero bike you have a foward position that on a "climing" bike you dont have it, this makes it easyer to mantain the speed, that same principle in lower scale as a Tri bike or a TT

The bottom line no matter the discipline is if you aren't properly positioned on the bike as per your unique physiology you lose performance. An "aero" frame that doesn't fit is as useless as a "climbing" bike that doesn't fit.

There's no yes/no with regards to fit. It's either right or wrong.

Oddly enough you read my mind. My next bike will be an "Aero" bike with disc brakes. I will a look at that bike

I understand you perfectly, I never said I have a bad position, I beliave that with my trainer I got a really good position where I'm super confortable on the bike and I can go fast with it, the thing is I dont clim as much as I thought and an aero bike I believe will suit better my "needs" I repeat I dont do this for a living, this is my sport/hobby and obviusly I want to be as good as I can be...

I guess I should be more clear... anyone chasing the minutia of speed (OP for instance...) via "Aero" this or that, oughta realize they're not going to gain any worthwhile performance with an off the shelf frame, unless they're absolutely sure it will fit them all the while ensuring the full aero benefit of the frames properties... IOW you need to perfectly fit the frame (and that rarely happens) otherwise it's all marketing gobbledygook.
with out talking about frame stiffness...

I dont think is marketing, I believe every little thing counts, some of them you notice them some you dont even feel it, but talking on papers an Aero Handle bar And Aero Stem,Aero Seatpost and Aero bike, everything helps.. 6 watts or 32 watts, dosent matter, but 6 here 32 there and on and on everything helps... my opinion
That BH G7 Disc for instance MSRP is $6000-$9000...That's custom territory, if you're serious about "aero" high cost production frames make no sense unless you're absolutely sure they'll fit you perfectly.
@Darth Steele is a beast...he doesn't need aero. lmao

Agreed...but folks chasing this dragon are spending good money, it isn't cheap, therefore if you're already in that league chasing these little bits of performance gain at significant cost it simply makes no sense to spend buku dollars on a high cost production aero frame not tailored for you, and as @Lazyass said, get a suit & helmet- that's real aero gain independent of bike....hence the marketing gobbledygook...unless there's CHEAP aero/crab0n frames out there I'm not aware of...

.... but everybody that is really into the sport/hobby knows benefits of the aero stuff the problem is the price...
