I've taken the day off work. Cleared my schedule. Got all of my social media accounts lined up and cash transferred into my bank account. I've declared next Tuesday, Sep. 13th

OMNI DAY

Hope I'm not disappointed.

I hope it is a new frame that will integrate all of Nick's products and that he takes the next step with his products and in the process shows the big manufacturers how to do things better.

I hope so too. It would be sweet to see him go toe to toe with the big guys.

It is not too surprising that cranks create that much of a drag-hot-spot since there is clearly no rider on the bike. I imagine the crank doesn't stand out that much as an issue when you combine the rider+bike since it becomes effectively merged with the leg (which obviously does create a huge amount of drag), and during large portions of the pedal stroke it is hidden from the wind by the lower leg and foot to a large degree.

Could it be a(n) (aero) crank, that fits all the different bottom brackets? Would fit the name Omni..

That picture is not a crank.

There is an x,y,z origin sitting there in the crank. Not sure if it means anything.

If the last image means anything, it could be a bike for the Predator.

Maybe but I'm not inclined to believe that Nick would stock three SKUs (165mm, 170mm, 175mm) and there's no way he's embedding a power meter in the crank or spider (which many triathletes already have and would be reticent to give up). To me that looks like a 175mm Vision Metron on a relatively small frame.

Agreed. Plus the two previous teaser pics did not even show the BB area of a bike.

I would probably say that it means that the bottom bracket is frequently taken as the origin for bike coordinates...?

Probably.

I don't think the omni is a crank either, I was just pointing out that in that drag (?) heat-map, the crank was the obvious hotspot. Perhaps it will just be a front skewer/hub instead ;)

Just as a clarification.....on Facebook Nick mentioned this was a velocity heat graph. That is different than a drag heat map. The 2 things are obviously related, but the correlation isn't always so obvious.

... With that heat map around the bottom bracket area.... how about a low profile bike motor ?

I didn't know Andy Coggan's janky AF low speed wind tunnel was capable of outputting such heat maps.

Of course it can... just put a small but powerful computer inside that little wind tunnel and run your CFD aerodynamic modelling on it. Miniature wind tunnels make great computer storage spots... plenty of cooling.

Tririg actually confirmed on Facebook it was a bike!

Edit: And they deleted their comment on fb.
