Read the last couple of paragraphs on the bearings and testing they do at the AIS in Adelaide. It really is quite staggering the money Australia invests per capita on sport. If you go to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra you’ll be quite amazed…

I hope they do loaded testing as well as unloaded on those bearings.
Of the topic - but I love the bt stealth - why dont they get around to mass producoing a road version of this bike in taiwan or china, and forget about the aluminium superroo bike.
Lots of guys would love to have one of these bikes for triathlon - or riding to the coffee shop

That bike is pretty sweet indeed!
Would raise some eyebrows at the local Starbucks for sure…
thanks for the link! I think the technology used on the track and the attention to detail is fantastic!
It is hard to believe that frame is very aero though…

I think you can get a road going version - as I recall they announced a TT bike available to the public maybe last year or the year before. Of course you provide the motor…
The only thing I noticed was the saddle–my all-time favorite!

It’s a surprising aero bike, especially as they’re designed to get you nice and low. One of the standard BT’s lurks in Scotland as a fixed TT bike, with different forks of course.
One of the guys on the local TT scene has a BT frame it is probably the most pimped bike I have seen at races this year. About the only fairly common part on it is his Hed bars. He runs the uber expensive Lieghtwieght front and leightweight disk. Dura ace SRM’s with Carbon aero rings, nikon cables.
