And… I’m done.

There are some older graphs around, but putting in data from older versions of current bikes is problematic - Felt talk about this in their white paper, ie which version of a DA is being compared?

good info, appreciate the effort to post them all up. However you will see who has less drag etc, just by the source you labelled. Eg, can you imagine Specialized posting something in which shows a cervelo having less drag than a shiv?

Pinteresting.

To be sure. However, comparing, let’s say, a DA vs a Plasma using Cervelo’s data might be useful.

Dunno if I am supposed to hotlink the photos here, since the screencaps are obviously from the tour magazine ipad app, but heres a link to their 2012 tt frame test.

I wonder what competitor bike is A (in light blue) - indistinguishable in performance from the SC?

Competitor A, the one in light blue, is the 7 series Speed Concept.
