I've always been a beam fan.
Owned a Softride Qualifier, Power-V & a Zipp 3001 (all 650c).
Would want to own a beam bike again someday this time in 700c.
As I remember the 3001 was already very fast & was very happy with the ride.
Would change a few things which I put in 3D interpretation (I work in architecture)
- work on the front end, internal brakes/cables with a forward angled headtube merging with the stem.
- two piece stem with internal cable entry & exits behind stem to the frame top. long slot clamp to adjust hbar fore/aft.
unfortunately no basebasr up & down adjustment. only aerobars can be adjusted.
- 3001 down tube though very aero shaped far from front wheel. would rework a cut-out shape to compliment front.
- add bb fin below to handle rear brake.
- preferably Di2 for easy cable routing.
Hopefully new carbon technology will make this lighter than previous beams.

Still have to think how an efficient hydration system can be made.
In not an engineer & have no qualifications, just a dreamer.
Thanks for looking.
