The new Shiv bars will accept any 22.2mm OD extension, so Vuka up -- you're good to go.

Any plans or thoughts about making different extension shapes for the Shiv TT bars? I know people have thrown them in the oven to detach them from the mounts but I'm not that daring...

Do you know if it's possible to put the aerobars under the base bar like the pro missile evo or the speed concept ?

I'm just now getting into Triathlons, aka no Triathlon Experience. Is the Shiv Comp Rival "too fast" for a Beginner?

Hello,
Hey, the TT frameset, is it only available in black? Black is the only one shown online- but I see lots of pics of guys with the red/white/black rig. I am seriously shopping, and I am not see the options on the website.
Also, where can I take a spin on one. The guys at the expo did not have any to ride unless I totally missed them, and my LBS seem to be too cheap to stock them right now- or they can't get them??
Please advise.

I dont see any bike as "too fast" for a beginner. In fact I would say the Shiv Rival would be an excellent choice, as you have a very aerodynamic frame and fork that can easily be upgraded over time with more "go fast" parts as you progress in the sport.

We don't have tooled clamps that would accommodate this lower extension position today but have looked into the concept. The pad stack would have to change drastically to accommodate this style of bar clamp.

Ditto on what Kevin said -- this is the kind of bike that would give you freespeed on day 1 and could continue to be upgraded over time.

Hey OCD,
The Shiv TT only comes as a module so few dealers have them stocked on their floor. We have a few demo's kicking around in a few of the trucks.
It's only available in stealthy satin black -- the black, white, red bikes are the 2011 Shiv (nosecone) bikes.
PM me with your location and I can look into a store that might have a built bike around for test ride.

I'm not sure if someone has already asked this. I live in Souther California (Orange County) and I'm wondering when will the pro frameset start shipping to bike shops? So far it seems that the realistic date is early December.

Hi. I have ordered the Shiv Pro OSBB Frameset. How can I get the S-Works aero stem that comes on the complete bike?

Just one question, what is the maximum saddle height I could get with the 350mm seat-post (what is the maximum [safe] seat post exit I could get)?
I`m tall and I need 850mm between BB center and saddle rail. Is it possible to do?
If not, another question could be, do you have a 400mm seat post option?

Depending upon frame size, you shouldn't have any issue. The max saddle height on the M, L, XL frames is about 90cm+ so you're OK.

The aerobars will be available aftermarket sometime in the spring. The carbon aerobar will ship with the integrated stem you're talking about.
Until then, the only way to build up this way is to buy the SW module or the SW or Pro bike.

You would have to get an adapter for SRAM GXP that converts from BB30 to GXP. Specialized doesn't make one ourselves right now but I've seen this done before.

I have a set of the adapters from Wheels Manufacturing - they're minimal, light, and work perfectly. They are reusable, and removeable (unlike some BB30-to-BSA adapters). I have no relationship with Wheels Mfg, I just think these are great parts.
For Shimano Hollowtech cranks:

SRAM/Truativ GXP cranks:
http://www.bikeparts.com/...lts.asp?ID=BPC364502
You just keep the bike's BB30 bearings in, and add these adapters, and put your cranks straight on. Easy as pie.

Thanks for the response. But will I be able to purchase just the stem this spring (without the carbon aerobars) for use on a different set of bars?

Mark,
Just wondering what cable housing Specialized is recommending for the new Shiv. I was thinking about Nokon or Yokozuna. Will either of these be compatible inside the frame?
Thanks

Hi Clayton,
congratulations on a magnificent bike. Finally a triathlon specific bike.
But I'm just wondering if the 'fuel-selage' affects the structural integrity of the bike?

Hi,
does the GXP adapter also works with FSA MegaExo ? The Shimao has an smaler innerdiameter.

This stem is proprietary and only works with the Specialized carbon aerobar. The clamp is a 4:1 ellipse/airfoil so it only works with a bar of this cross section. Thus it'll be sold with the carbon aerobar in the aftermarket.
