We had this bike on the velodrome in Mallorca back in December for testing and I can tell you that it's fast. The seat tube and stays are interesting and the first time I saw it I really had to hand it to the team at Specialized for going so wildly off script.. the whole seat tube/BB area violates all of the visual wind tunnel rules, which certainly led to some interesting doubts/discussions with the riders as they too expect things to look a certain way!

I'll be interested to see how they choose to market the bike and these features as this will undoubtedly be the first question/rejection of the design by everybody who sees it.

Josh,
Are you going to be headed to France for the Tour?

I'm looking forward when they will introduce this beauty, possible during/after TDF?

Seeing it from this angle makes it look a lot like the Ridley Dean Fast imo which is starting to become an outdated design, even though Campenaerts broke the hour record on it.

The frame cut in rear end has bolts spot, any idea what it is for?

I would guess front derailleur mount that you can remove when running 1X

edit: a subsequent poster has shown my guess to be incorrect.

I'll guess mounting features for a fairing/spares box/etc. The silhouette shown further down the page for the geometry shows this area filled in:

I'm with pyf, perhaps as one of various optional uses, especially since Jungels has a front derailleur mounted in that exact location.

Yeah I'm going with removable front derailleur mount.

The Silhouette shown is from the Shiv Tri with the Hydration Fuelcell removed, not the Shiv TT
