I'd be happy trading that in for something more aero with 2 frame bottle mounts.

Syntace Stratos CX basebar - I have 3 of those, one on my Zipp 2001, one on my Kestrel KM-40, and one on my lady's Felt B12. Her felt is the only UCI legal bike that I own. Softride has some other base bar on it now, but mostly I run it AOD.

The fork doesn't concern me so much as I've already got a very very good UCI legal fork.

What are your bar/stem and frame choices?

Hello Felt B12, with illegal Reynolds fork, highly modified Syntace blackbird aerobars, disk, H3.

All that said if money was no object I'd love to see a modern Lotus type design with inline stem and very narrow aerobars with a custom narrow rear disk with room for 5 or 6 cogs. Basically a flatcourse, few turns bike.

Look forward to seeing something UCI illegal.

I am curious what others have to say about a UCI illegal bike.

I would want three things before I purchased:
1. Data showing that it's faster, preferably with a dummy or something in place.
2. More flexibility to meet the needs of long course tri. Trek did this wonderfully well with their draft box, 2 bottle mounts and the top tube mount, combined with their previous speed bottles.
3. Ease of use. The Bayonet 1 fork is pretty much my limit for what I'll deal with. It works well when it works, but when it doesn't work, oh brother.

To fit the above things, it seems like Felt could simply keep their new version of the frame. But alter what comes with the frame, maybe a noseconed fork not just the bayonet, a draft box like attachment for the seatpost. Maybe a different basebar that comes with the bike, something like the new Bontrager one, about 15mm wide and 60mm deep.

I have VT alum base bar modified a bit with hed clip on with oval alum single bend extensions on a Cervelo P1. For the price its aero and inexpensive.

On a flat course, you'd be far better off taking off the derailleurs if you wanted aero savings. I used to run Willow both fixed and with gears. If it was windy, I'd use the bike that could shift, but I'd at about 28 minutes regardless of set up on a decent day. Even a hilly course like Hines was only about 30 seconds slower for me on the track bike.

I'd like to see a picture of your bike.

Ditto.

Virtually everything on my bike is UCI illegal...except the stem and bars:

Generic 1" 73 degree stem w/ Al Vision base bars and carbon Vision clip ons.
Titanflex frame (think the UCI would like this?)
Reynolds Ouzo Pro Aero Fork (older, ridiculously thin, high aspect ratio model)
80+ degree seat angle that runs afoul of UCI setback rule
Simkins Egg brakes (I don't know if the UCI blesses these or not...)

Now all I'm looking for is one of these in-hub motors... ;-)

I'll get you some later in the week. Nothing particularly special, but I did a lot of the work on the bars. I'm currently running one of the first gen Zipp cranks with one chainring, figuring they seem about as aero as you can get without spending big bucks. I had to really carve up a set of brakes so the rear brake does touch the chainring.
