I ride a size 60 2012 Felt S22 and I believe I have most of the low hanging aero fruit in terms of decent fit, wheels, tires, etc.
A friend has a size 60 2012 B12 that I might be able to get for a very reasonable price. While I might sell the S22, I might also keep it on the trainer and ride the B12 outside. The dimensions basically the same except for a reach of 461 on the B12 vs. 462 on the S22
My understanding is much of the benefit of a TT frame is the position, but obviously some frames are faster than others. The carbon B12 has a few fancy bits here and there that I assume they couldn't do (or do cheaply) with the aluminum S22. It also has more internal cabling, which seems to objectively be a good thing relative to my current rat's nest.
While I'm not a weight weenie, the 1.5 pound difference is something. No idea if the carbon has any other benefits - especially 6 year old carbon.
Bonus - the green accents match our kit.
So, is it much faster?
