Maybe this has been discussed before but I was unable to find it.
Why on Earth would you ride an aerodynamic beauty like a Cervelo, Softride, Felt etc with aero everything and then put 1 or 2 big, fat, round water bottles in the frame? I see pictures of professionals doing this all the time like Lothar Leder on his P3, McCormack on his Talon, Smith on his Sigma, Zack on his Softride and the list goes on, you get the point. Same thing with handlebar mounted bottles, they might look aero but that doesn't mean they are. Why would you put a one piece aerobar and then plop that big fat thing in front of it all exposed to the wind?
Maybe some of you know the answer and can explain this. Thanks.
