they make the frame so aerodynamic, but the gears look like they would cause the most drag, and the deraillieur, if going to all this trouble with the frame im sure something could be done with those parts
riders dont go fast enough for the areodynamics to be noticable as far as all the top models. any bike will do the same. wind tunnel tests are way over rated. people really buy to much into it. a Felt b16 will do the same
@Technopunkster Oh really? A 5.5% increase in aerodynamics (in comparison to similar models) won't be a notable difference? Earlier this week, I had a chance to ride one of these. It had a Campy 11spd with electronic shifting. I must say that this is much faster than any other TT bike out there. The same goes for the Noah in comparison Madone 6.9. There is a significant difference when riding in the flats and downhill (2-3 mph average increase).
why dont they have a cover like thing that comes with the bike that goes over the rear deraillieur for more aerodynamics

just one strand of the brake cable on this bike is probably worth more than my entire bike!

I like this bike, but the TREK TT bike is way better! Chris leito should try this one too!

Everything Competitive Cyclist reviews is somehow incredibly awesome.
Coincidence? I think not.

Cadel Evans seems to be the worst thing about this bike, IMAO.

You see that kool bike? I'll be passing most of these bikes with my old 1990 aluminum model in my next triathlon.

That is a very nice bike!!!
It didn't have a part in the Tour de France! Win.LOL!
Just goes to show, it 99% rider ability.

That's kindof impressive.
It's too bad that the rider to showcase it was Cadel Evans. What a douche.
