Which do you like the most and why of all the current superbikes?
Dimond, Ventum, Cervelo P5, Trek Speed Concept, Felt IA, Quintana Roo PR6 or Specialized Shiv? (probably forgot a few)
I know my post is rather (ok, very!) subjective (yes I'm Shallow Hal when it comes to bikes), but I like where the folks at Dimond and especially Ventum are headed (build the fastest bike period). Both bikes also look good to me.
The SC has never swayed me either way (love how Trek were first with storage integration)
Felt just looks too chucky to me (yet if the AR was more widely available in Oz I would have it right up there on a list of potential aero road bikes to purchase)
The QR is much like the Trek, never really gave it much thought.
Love the look of the Shiv TT. Shiv Tri, nope.
The P5 had me going when first released (I ride a P3C now), but just seems too much trouble to travel with (Im not saying it is, just my impression from reading various threads on various topics about the P5)
A P3 on the other hand would suit me just fine.
The Plasma 5 also seems to fit the bill, but again, availablity here isn't great
In the end, even my P3C is more than enough bike for me, so all this is nothing more than chin wagging on my part.
And as I said, Im gald all the manfacturers are taking tri more seriously these days and thinking outside the box, giving our sport such a wide variety of bikes to choose from and pushing the envelope with each new design
