Thanks. "20-ish depending..." Is that only the frame? If so I wouldn't mind just seeing what a fully kitted out M weighs, gotta be almost north of 23 wouldn't it?

So, less than the Cervelo P5X?

BikeRumor:
The medium frame as pictured with all three storage compartments in place (without the spare tube) came in at 21.96lbs (9.96kg).

That's without pedals, nutrition, and the 3 bottles.

Anybody know how much this monstrosity weighs?

Supposedly +/- 20.5 lbs, depending on frame size and configuration.

So just as heavy as the P5-X

Their YouTube video said around 21 lbs. Overall a pretty good video explaining the design and features. If I had more time I'd post the link, but probably pretty easy to find with a YouTube search, video was ~20ish minutes long.

Interesting to see the bike in action yesterday when Weiss came to the front. While I initially thought the bike was cool and looked superfast I had my doubts about its performance. Clearly Weiss has more difficulty than anyone else controlling their bike and riding in a straight line, and it looked like he had a lot more issues with crosswinds. Every other athlete I saw seemed much more stable. Off my list of bikes to consider...

I was out and didn't get to see that part of the race. I saw other posts about Weiss having trouble with the bike. He also way overbiked keeping up with the others and blew up on the run. It wasn't a good debut at all for the new Andean.

It really wasn't a very windy day on the Big Island.

Thanks Dan. Have you put any miles on it and will you post any review/write up on the forum?
Thanks, John

You get any rides in with decent cross winds ?

the bike is not a problem in crosswinds. nor a cervelo p5x. any frame surface area behind (rearward of) the steering axis you don't need to worry about.

Cool, Kona just didn't do it any favors with the coverage, it looked pretty bad.

I personally don't like the look of the bike, but it's cool to see some different concepts.

most of it was an optical illusion. it's the first time you saw the back half of the front wheel in proximity to the frame, adjacent to it. you never get to see that with a typical bike.

For all the effort put into storage and aerodynamics and the "full picture", they left out an important detail regarding the weight: travel fees. Many airlines put a tight weight limit on bicycles and many people put more stuff into the bike bag than just the bike itself (tools, helmet, shoes, nutrition). My P2 with all that stuff in the bag is usually only a few pounds under the limit - the extra weight of the P5x and the Andean will take them over that easily.
