If the Zipp 3001 bike was so aero, why do we not see more beam bikes like it today? Some still seem to say it is very aero/low drag by todays standards. What am I missing?
The Zipp 2001 is considered one o f the fastest frames ever made, along with the HOTTA and the Cervelo P4. Zipp stopped making the bike when the International Cycling Union (UCI, the pro cycling governing body) deemed the design illegal. Of course, you can still race them in triathlon.

Crazy to think that no one picked up on the Zipp concept after they droped it in 1998? Cycpro, is from what I can tell, is a nice though but is not production, working prototype (however very nice).
Thanks,
