There is one indisputable fact about the Shiv-Tri, well almost indisputable:
1. For some reason, not understood to me, triathletes love having an aerodrink with a straw up in the front of their bike. This is a fact
2. The shiv provides almost that same functionality is a way that is 99% less stupid - the straw is not sticking up all the time, it is more aero, weight is better located. If it doesn't spill when you lay the bike down, another bonus!
so I conclude this bike will be popular.
The only counterpoint is that the bladder does not hold the 10 gallons that many of the aerodrink products do, so many sprint triathletes will probably die of dehydration.
Another point - not every can use the between the arms bottle. Some peoples extensions are too short, or have weird bends that make it impossible or awkward. or their iphone is already there.
