Has anyone done much of a comparison of these bikes vs an Omni, P3X / P5X, Ventum, etc.? I know Dimond has some aero data online, but curious to hear some anecdotal road-based comparisons.I have ridden lots of different bikes (Transition, P1, P3, Blue Triad SL, Ridley Dean Fast, Swift Neurogen, Dimond Brilliant and Marquise, Ventum, Ceepo Shadow) and if there is one thing I can't say is that I can 'feel' differences in aerodynamics. I have won (AG) races on all these bikes and in races were I underperformed there was not relation to the bike not being aerodynamic enough :-)
Qualities that I value much more than aerodynamics are handling while riding, ease of maintenance and general build quality. Of course this is ST so just ignore what I wrote ;-)
