I will give it too the guy that he has great skills but why.
This is from over on Weight Weenies which I am not sure any of you will click the link but it is included. http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53680
Here is a link to the person who built this bikes blog. http://luis-recuenco.blogspot.com/2009/02/cervelo-pelicano.html
He should have made the head tube about a foot taller if the idea was to make it fit him better…couldn’t have made it any uglier!
Where do you even find arm rests that fold up like that?
Given my superior and tremendous translation abilities, I have made it easier for everyone…
But, really, why TWO cameras? “Concretely this saddle allows to keep two cameras or tubular in the part an inferior. Yet it, the final aesthetic result of this component remembers to a bird pelican, of there the name of bici.”
Profile Design makes a clip-on aero bar with spring loaded arm rests. I actually use them, but in my opinion they are only good for those of us who put clip-ons on our road bikes instead of owning a TT bike. Long days in the saddle, especially when there is a lot of climbing, makes it nice to keep the top of the bars open for a hand position.
They are not perfect (a bit heavy and they tend to rattle over bumps) but the hand position convenience is nice enough that reasonable people could make a decision either way if it works for them on a road bike. No point in putting them on a TT bike - the tops of a bullhorn are not going to give you a decent hand position anyway.
those look like heds.
if you look at the blown up pic, you can see how the supports are already bending. not good.
Looking at the pads and aerobars in a bigger picture of the bike, I would say that they are HED Flip-lites with maybe Oval single bend extensions.
But, really, why TWO cameras?
not sure if you are serious, but ‘camera’ in this case, means tire.

Anyone who puts a $130 Campy bottle cage on a bike with 105 brakes and front derailleur has no credibility with me.
That saddle looks very strange, by the way. You have to hand it to the guy with the workmanship, but I still don’t understand the motivation for doing it.
I don’t get it…
talk about a frankenbike. Maybe it’s a work in progress, but there are some strange choices ( putting a 2K wheelset with sawed off drop bars and road shifters).
I don’t get it.
I just hope his skills with carbon bonding to Al are better than his aesthetics on that rear triangle…seems like a pretty flimsy looking seat tube to me. Kudos for effort though…this is how evolution of the bike takes place I guess.
What’s funny is it has Vroomen.White.Design all over it. I’m sure Phil and Gerard are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads.

I think that he should have started with the cranks and finished with the cranks and called it a day.
theres two things I can’t figure out
the non continuous contour of the rear wheel cutout, why? it ruins it, otherwise it would be a nice P2C clone, done in aluminum.
the paint job which is highliting the frankensteinness of the thing
the seat is insane but if it is comfy and holds tires that could be pretty cool.
He has the Campy Record carbon bottle cage, which costs about $130, and shimano 105 (entry level shimano kit) on the same bike. Doesn’t seem like a logical use of money. As someone else noted, $2400 wheels on a bike with sti shifters on a sawed off drop bar doesn’t make any sense either. The bike is a compilation of various questionable decisions, not the least of which is the whole seat tube situation.
it almost seems like he was using the parts he managed to steal, or find deals on ebay maybe
