Can I have some details on the Stinner (pretty bike), so I have some idea what's being compared to the Venge? All round tubes except for the headtube fairing, toptube and chainstays? It's hard to tell with the paintjob.
44mm headtube?
Downtube diameter (or width)?
Cervelo fork?
The only truly round tube is the seat tube :-)
Fork is first generation Cervelo S5 model
Tube specs is as follows:
HT: 44mm with Chris King Inset HS ("fairing" is actually only filler to cover internal cable routing tubes)
DT: Columbus Life Aero 42mm (run narrow end forward, simple CFD suggested that was faster, especially with bottle). DT is offset at BB to allow cables to exit and partially "fair" rear brake below BB.
TT: Columbus MAX bi oval (oriented with horizontal flat at HT, and vertical flat at ST, both to match tube widths better at HT and ST junctions)
Seat tube: True Temper HVERST1
Chainstays: Columbus life Oval
Seat Stays: True Temper Velo Seat Stays (teardrop shape designed by Yamaguchi)
BB: BSA threaded
