Same here! Dan answered all my questions all weekend at all sorts of hours of the day. Best customer service I've ever seen. Excited to be a part of this!

wow-- i think Premiers black friday/cyber monday sale was one of the most popular. good to see. Dan is definitely a visionary with all the work he's put into designing some incredibly aerodynamic products.

With the great sales I vote the molds get made for the integrated hydration! Then I will be a bike!

+1. Would be great to have integration by April/May when races start up again instead of buying something third party that I wont be able to resell. In the mean time, pain cave water bottles work fine :)

Excited to receive my red Tactical in a few weeks. Then I plan to ride the hell out of it.

Super excited to see people on board the Tactical . Dan is a good dude and helped me out plenty with mine! You will love it and yes , ride the hell out of if !

Will we be able to purchase integrated hydration and install on the current bike or it's only integrated into future bikes?

dan designs any future products to be 100% backwards comparable with “older” bikes.

that said, he hasn’t given us any eta on integrated hydration.

myself i want something very “canyon” for our bike.

If we move forward on an integrated hydration it will be designed to fit all existing Tactical bikes.

you mean WHEN, correct? :-P

this would be a massively value added component to this bike.

I’m not sure it would Damon. The beauty of this bike is how clean the front end is which makes it fast. Any jig you add there will only take away from that. How much fluid room is needed that a BTA cage and 2 BTS cages can’t provide? Every 10 miles is an aid station plus special needs.

dan said the bike is faster with the profile design fc35 (proper location), and he stated his design for a integrated hydration was even faster if my memory serves me correct.

80/20 Endurance Ambassador

Yes he did.
1) that was not tested on tilted extensions
2) hardly anyone uses that thing despite that statement. It’s an eye sore and only marginally bigger than a cage

I understand why Dan would be hesitant about it. He mentioned that it was super expensive ($30K I believe?) to make a mold. Especially when he said that sales were great with Black Friday, why bother?

Just playing Devils Advocate here. I'd love a built in solution.

would you necessarily need a mold at this point? could you trial and error a 3-D printed solution for a lot cheaper? I don't know, but I'm curious

the world's still turning? >>>>>>> the world's still turning

was the bike case discontinued? its mia on the website

We have are running low so I have reserved the rest as an option for athletes that purchase our bike, No ETA on additional inventory at this time.

Is that using the Velcro aerodrink bracket? Or the fixed new clamp bracket?

That's the FC35 with the old Velcro.

Got the 51speedshop cups on the Tactical this week.. Can't get image embedding to work, so here's URL;

Ok cool. I can’t find the old Velcro ones anywhere online so I sent a message to Profile Design and they just called me to say they still make them and should be able to be found at your LBS. and if not, the LBS can order them still.

When they stopped shipping with Velcro I bought some. If you can’t get them just send me PM.

I've been on the 51 Speedshop arm cups since the start of the season and love them. Just had a chance to install the production "universal" version on another Tactical and they went on without problem. Highly recommend them for those looking for an aftermarket arm cup. No signs of durability issues at this point.

I’ll check my local shop first but let you know if they have problems getting them.

Another testimonial, I’m the buyer whose bike shop called you the other day to confirm the torque settings. He said you called him right back (and apologized that you missed him at first because you were swimming, lol), and got it all sorted out. This is not a knock against Felt or Trek or Cervélo or anyone else, but I don’t know that either of those companies you could call the person who designed and built your bike to ask them questions like that.

Also, the feel of the bike is amazing. I had a Kuota Kueen before, which was their flagship bike a few years ago. I liked that bike too. But this just feels...different. It feels like it was machined out of a single block of iron, but it’s still very light. It’s smooth and “simple”. There is nothing “extra”. It’s stripped down to be strong, fast, and aero. When you slam a door in a Mercedes S500, it sounds different than a 2010 Nissan Sentra. It feels like a solid, meticulously engineered machine. Can’t wait to ride!

Received my bike a few days ago, got it all setup and had 2 rides in the last 2 days. All I can say is AMAZING! This bike is everything it is billed to be and more. Far exceeding my expectations. The bike feels so stable and fast. I can't wait to get out on a longer ride and really open her up.

Did you have to do any modifications to the BentoX to get it to fit? The bento rubs and moves when steering since it covers the top of the steering tube/column. I considered filing down the bento in the front. Anyone else having issues with a bento and steering?
