Has anyone seen their new Aero Bottle Race Pack setup? It looks really cool with a computer mount included. Problem is, there are none available yet. Is it common to put your products on the internet and in magazines without actually having them available? I can understand a prototype bike, wheels, etc., but this is a aerobar bottle setup? Any recommendations because I think this product would solve a problem for me.
This is the exact product I am looking for too. Now where to get it…?

Seems like where the computer mount is stands a good chance to get soaked from filling the water bottle.
I placed an order with my local Trek dealer a few weeks ago. The original delivery date was the end of March. The delivery date has been pushed back and is now in May.
Well that sucks. I’m training for IM CdA (June 21st), and I would really like to get this for some long training rides. My head tube is pretty short and I ride pretty low, so the old PD aerobottles actually hit my front tire and leaves me with no place for computer. Anyway, I think the computer would be fine in that position…I use a Garmin F305 and it is pretty water resistant.
I actually like the fact this is only a 20 ounce bottle also, it makes it smaller and a little more manageable. Figure I can refill from my other bottles or handups along the way.
Well if anyone finds out where/when to get it, let me know.
I went into my local Bontrager Dealer yesterday to place an order for it, they made a phone call and then told me that it’s listed as “out of stock” and “unavailable” with no expected date of availability. Any additional info anyone?
So just went into my LBS and ordered one. Bontrager says to him they have them in stock. We’ll see.
I saw them on the shelf at the TREK store East in Madison last night.
Mount your computer to the stem, sideways. Still easy to read/use.
For anyone wondering, my bottle arrived at my local Trek dealer Friday morning. I picked it up Friday evening and used it over the weekend. Very nice and worth the wait.
Not sure if you are still looking for this, but I just found this on ebay. Its $80 (plus shipping), but it seems like a very rare thing for this to pop out once in the past year or two. lol. I might be buying it for myself, but thought I’d let you know in case I don’t!
Heres the link:

Has anyone tried this product? Stuck in the middle if I want to try to win this on ebay. Hard choice as I know that I might never see a brand new one for sale again.
If you want to try a used one for cheap before buying new, pm me, we could probably work something out.
I loved mine, thought it was nicer than the profile, but I switched to the standard bottle between the aero bars
Thanks Twack, Im okay as Im looking for a brand new one.
With that being said; it looks like someone has bid on the ebay auction. Im looking to put in a bid of $100!

Dang, I had no idea these were so sought after. I have one sitting around that I bought and never used because it didn’t fit my bike. I’d be happy to ship it to you for $80 if you want. It doesn’t have the packaging.
I have two of these pack New In Package. If anybody is interested message me. Be sure to include if your offer is for 1 or 2.
I got them for the holidays, but a. I don’t have aerobars and b. my monthly budget was stolen earlier today. I must sell them quickly so that I can pay my bills.
Since this is my first post on this forum here is a little about me:
I grew up around bikes, and did my own repairs with home tools.
In High School, I started riding for charity. That is when I really started putting the miles on.
A few years ago I decided to not replace a stolen car and dedicated to bicycle only transportation.
This year I was voted on to the operations committee of the Topeka Community Cycle Project. (cycleproject.org)
I currently put 200 miles in per month.
At the moment I use either my Trek 1500 (roadbike) that was rebuilt from the frame or the Genesis “two-nine” (29" wheeled mountain bike made by Kent International).
I bikejourne with my husky “Dara”.
I am looking for a Off Road Scooter (i.e. Toucan 26 20 Suspension Dog) for her to pull in the near future.
Well, that’s all of the bike related things I could think of off the top of my head.
Ride Safe, and remember to message me if you want those packs

It seems I don’t have enough post yet to reply to Trainhard’s PM. But he has made a reasonable offer of 80% MSRP. I will accept this offer. Now I just need to work out some communication between us.
Trainhard- If you can contact me via e-mail @ blue.arch_angel@yahoo.com, I will be glad to give you my full contact information and determine the best form of payment.
All others, we don’t get a big call for these pack in my area but I’m betting one of the two shop here have some. I’ll be sure to check at my first availability. I’m not in this to make money, so if I do find more packs they will be provided at cost. Otherwise please respect that I normally would not have posted my e-mail address.
It seems **Trainhard **has attempted to send me an e-mail according to his PM but I have yet to receive it. It wasn’t in my spam either. I’m hoping that he would either see this and try e-mailing me again or leave me a PM with his contact information so that I can get back to him immediately. I’m leaving a couple e-mails just in case the address was copied wrong or whatnot.
