Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? bryancd - 2011-09-30 5:56 PM Fastyellow - 2011-09-30 10:54 AM Looks to me like the bike is geared towards long course racing. Almost like a Dakar motorcycle. The bike looks like it has a gas tank. It may be fast and prove to be "the" bike in triathlon, but at first glance, I'm not all that impressed. If I was an IM athlete, I may dig it a bit more. Like Bryan says, looks like its not that functional for an everyday bike. I'll stick with my Shiv TT till more info becomes available. And here's the other thing. Cervelo just put out all that wind tunnel data showing how external water bottles can BENEFIT the aerodynamics of a bike with rider, so this whole internal system looks like a bad solution to a problem that doesn't exist. You don't think Crowie will have a bottle between his arms? I guarantee he will. Everyone with a brain will do it. |
