Seat is too high, and cockpit too long. Bike looks stealth...

There was a raffle for one in Kona several years ago and they had the bike chained up outside lava java, it was a pretty good looking frame.

Looks very user friendly. Simple to breakdown for packing.

Is there some sort of quick disconnect on the brake cables? From their breakdown photo, it looks like the front and rear brake cables/housing are completely removed.

Yeah, its some sort of patented quick disconnect.



Wish I could find an aftermarket stem with something similar. If I there were a way to have a quick disconnect like this, even if it was only for the rear brake cable, I could make an aero roadbike like a Cervelo S3 or Felt AR work double-duty as a TT bike with very little compromise. With a 2nd cockpit (maybe with 2nd front brake attached), second TT-oriented seat post with a TT saddle, one could do the swap in ~10 minutes. If you wanted to get real fancy, you could have a second, higher-offset fork from a smaller frame size for more front center.

I don't see prices of anything. Any hints?

Here is an order form in German but easy enough to understand. 7000 Euro for Ultegra Di2 with basic wheels. 3900 for just the frameset and bars.

Is this a Chinese Argon 18? *not pink*

My first reaction was if this was a Premier Tactical knockoff.

Washed up footy player turned Triathlete.

This was my initial thought as well.

One of my favourite brands to meet with as the Product Manager always wears lederhosen as part of his traditional Austrian outfit at bike shows.
They are always very much into doing things their own way so I'd be surprised if this was open mould. Though I would have said the same about Storck so what do I know.

Ah yes, sorry that is the one. I was struggling to come up with the name of it.

Like these?

Sorry in my mind it doesn't compute. How does that work? Two pieces?

Storck is open mold? Mind blown.

You use 2 brake cable. One goes from the lever to the disconnect where the screws clamp down on the end. A second cable is threaded through the part of the disconnect that unscrew, then routed to the brake caliper where it's clamped down. To 'break' the cable, you unscrew the 2 pieces of the quick disconnect.

Nothing like a Tactical.
It's much closer to the Colnago and Wilier.

I believe Airstreem has taken an open mould frame and made some mods. I think this quick release front end is also open mould, heard of some other brands coming out with this set up in the next few months.

AFAIK, those only work with external, unsheathed cable sections which you won't find on a P3 or AR.

Same here. Has Premier “made it” such that we can label others as knock-offs....that’s certainly a compliment for Dan. But I don’t know enough about this bike or brand to comment.

This. IMO there’s a huge untapped market out there for just such a bike.

Just the new Aero3 TT bike. Everything else is still their own special recipe. Like a lot of companies they wouldn't be selling enough TT/Tri bikes to justify developing their own new one.

It's really not that similar!




But compare to the Colnago (and others):

Your opinion appears to be in the minority

It's not an opinion. Line them up.

Not everyone has the hyper critical eye of a designer, that's ok! But I will admit, most TT bikes are very close these days.
