Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

I certainly hope they would do better than that standard, exposed center mount front brake

I agree. Looks like the crappy TRP front brake that dates back to the Tansition. I can't imagine any bike company wouldn't add a better brake for their newest bike.

I kinda expect the new Specialized TT/Tri bike to be disc brake. They haven't advertised a rim brake Vias for probably close to 2 years. You could still get one but you had to ask and I know they had lots in inventory.

I don't know. I used to get misty-eyed over every new shrouded brake contraption. Now I'm kind of over it. And, to my knowledge, nothing much beats the below at zero yaw. There's something to be said for brakes that are easily installed, maintained, adjusted, and "just work." And are also fast.

Yeah, I'll be shocked if the next triathlon bike isn't exclusively disc brake.

I’m on my phone and just inverted colors and it’s quite apparent it’s the same bars, headtube, brake, fork, giant cable housing out in the wind...

Stem doesn’t look like the aerostem, though

It definitely looks very similar.

This doesn't mean that they don't have something else that they put their sponsored riders on during the same photoshoot (which they then unveil at the TDF or whatever), but this certainly isn't it.

I agree with this except that the TRP brakes Specialized uses (especially the monstrosity which parades as the rear brake) have none of the mechanical advantage you listed. A well designed direct mount brake is great. The TRP designed isn't well designed.

I should have added that it's not my bike, just my example of how a fast bike doesn't need to have a complex proprietary front end.

It's from a prior Slowtwitch gallery.

Don't worry, ...I did add TT bosses:)

I ended up selling the bike a few months ago only because I'm racing in a few UCI events, and for the life of me I just couldn't get the ends of the shifters inside the stupid UCI limit (let alone the legality of the tririg bars). ...I loved the bike, even with it's quirks.
I've now gone from a 56cm P4 with 'adequate' brakes, to a 51cm NP2 with Magura Hydraulics. I don't think the new bike will be technically as aerodynamic, but I hope it's close enough:).
