Looks good. I'll be interested to see more information.

.. nice, it features a kind of "air drop" behind the fork crown ..

That fork crown looks...odd...almost "inverted" on the leading edge.
Also, it looks like where the down-tube meets the crown on the rear the shaping is reminiscent of the "wings" on the old Specialized Transition (that the UCI made everyone saw off...)
The thought of "aero road bikes" with separate braking discs still makes me chuckle...

i like the fork/headtube integration + hidden hydro line for front brake. that's pretty slick.

It would be most interesting if possibly new nano resins are featured in that frame ..

Like it or not, it won't be long until the most aero and best road bikes simply won't be available with dual-purpose discs. Sooner or later acceptance is the only rational choice. The record of your dissent is well-preserved, so no need for virtue signalling to other dissenters ad nauseum.

yeah i'm confused by this too. i get it on a gravel bike or endurance or cross or whatever. i've been wanting a cannondale aero road bike for years, but i never would have imagined they'd stick disc brakes on it. i don't really understand why they would, unless its just demanded by the market now?

"Lost"? I'm not sure what it is you think I lost...
Anyway, I'm going to poke fun at "mis-optimizations" wherever I see them.

I'm willing to take bets that the next iteration of both will be primarily "dual disc," maybe with rim brake framesets like the Venge.

You lost in the sense that actual bike engineers (vs. Internet forum engineers) are going to be doing something you consider a mis-optimization as standard practice for the foreseeable future. This will be accepted by producers, racers, recreational cyclists. And your "double disc" cleverness will be assigned to the dustbin of cycling tech history, along with the arguments against freehubs, quill stems,.etc..
Edit: Maybe there's hope for you, though. Because external bearing BBs are possibly making a bit of a comeback after the questionable optimizations of all the pressfit "standards."

I have no problem to ride a "old model" that has the parts of my choice, it's no difference to what I'm riding now ..

All they are really doing (just like the BB stuff) is encouraging people to strongly consider custom frame options...
Oh...and who ever argued against freehubs? I guess you never constantly broke axles in freewheel hub wheels...not to mention you can use either type hub in the same frame :-/
