I’ve always been a fan of German engineering. Any reason why we do not hear more about the Isaac Aerotic Pro and/or Isaac bikes in general? It appears that the reviews for their frames are always top notch, so I’m thinking it’s a distribution issue and a short list of dealers in the U.S.?
Anyone have any experience with the Isaac Aerotic? If so, what are your impressions?
Over priced and heavy. Germans can make cars not bikes.
I’ve ridden one for a year now- nice, stiff-bike sucks climbing, I got mine as a yr end frame deal so didn’t pay a ton-it was worth it. I’m not jonesing for anything new, it is a weighty bike-that I don’t like but I can easily take a lb or 3 off of me right now. I run Blackwell 50/100’s tubies on it for racing. I like having a bike no-one else has 
Testrider.com did a test ride. You can watch the show at the following link:
The germans like their saddle nose pointed down dont they!

One of the local cat. 1 studs TTs on one. Everytime I see it I’m struck anew by how w i d e it is, especially through the seat tube/chainstay/rear brake area (like the new Fuji). Doesn’t stop him from kicking all of our butts, though…
I have been on an Isaac Aerotic since Wildflower this year. It climbed just fine for me on that course. I also rode it at IM Lanzarote and IM Canada and ride it around all the mountains around here in Boulder, CO. I believe the new Aerotic Pro has a 78-degree option, but the '08 model has an additional seat post that can convert the 76-degrees to 78.
One of the only faults I’ve been able to find in the bike is the difficulty of placing the rear wheel to fit evenly with the rear cutout.
My Joule Aerotic comes in at around 15.9 lbs w/o pedals running straight 404 tubulars (w/PT). With a disc cover and pedals, it’s a about 17.2. Granted the frame is a “small”, but I wouldn’t call that “heavy” for a TT bike…
whats the build on it? mine’s a small too- we hung it on the scale before I shipped to Boise and i was shocked! it came in at 19 something-
Here’s the bike:
SRAM Force Shifters, Brakes, and Derailleurs
Shimano Dura Ace Crankset
Wipperman Connex Chain
Profile Design Cobra Bar and Sonic CSX Aerobars
Selle San Marco Aspide Trigel
Speedplay Zero Pedals
Here are the wheels:
2006 Zipp 360 rims
White Industries H1 Front Hub
Cycleops PowerTap 2.4 Rear Hub
Sapim CX-Ray spokes (18 front, 24 rear)
I use a wheelbulder.com cover as a disc.
Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 700x21 tires
I’m double checking the weight once I reinstall my chain.
