Does it test out to be as aerodynamic as it is claimed to be? Would it be legal if, like in the movie, you didn’t rest your chest on the bars and remained supported by the saddle, pedals and arms? I see there’s a number of UCI regulations about maximum tube length that may prevent it, but for a non-UCI race it wouldn’t matter.
I’m really thinking that minimizing air flow around the bike is reaching its limit, but using the bike to minimize airflow around the rider doesn’t get looked at all that closely. That it should be possible to build a non-UCI legal bike that’s considerably faster than the UCI-legal ones. Why someone would do this is, of course, open for debate.
Hey, it’s January, what else do we have to argue about?
