Alright...I realize there have been a lot of posts about the new Blade, but I don't get ABG/Litespeed.
They have changed the Blade's design so often and each year they claim it to be one of the most aero bikes on the market...so why can't they stick with a design and not constantly change it? Successful aero bikes (P3, Trek TT, Kestrels) all seem to rely on the strength of their original designs and don't change it on a whim like ABG seems to....
The new Ti-Phoon and Blade seem to borrow HEAVILY from each other....tubes, rear entry drop-outs, etc....are the bikes losing their identities? And if so - who could justify spending the extra cash on a Blade vs. a Ti-Phoon next year?
I'll stick with my Cervelo.
