Does anyone know of any published wind tunnel test that compares one or more aero roads frames against one or more regular road frames?
With mannequin or rider. I’m not really swayed by bare frame comparisons.

I’ve only digitised some of it, but could send that through
And the Cervelo RCa data used the Dave Z mannequin (but no full aero frames)
.
There was this one in Tour magazine a few months ago.

These tests were done with a mannequin with rotating legs, but no torso. Is that really the best test around?
