after all the talk about the HED aerolab frame. Did anyone actually test ride it and have any feedback ?
Sure, I own a Hed frame, size large, and have 5 rides on it now. I plan to put it away for races only, the 5 rides were only to get the position and set right. I built it with the new Profile Alumin-X bars, Ultegra derailleurs, FSA carbon pro team cranks, Cane Creek lightweight brakes, Fizik Arrionne saddle, new Mavic Wintech wireless. I set it up to mirror my position on my Cervelo P2K.
This bike is sweet…light, responsive, smooth over rougher roads, and climbs fantastic! My only reservations is that the seatpost has been difficult to secure properly and the headtube is so short(11.5 cm on large frame) that it makes stack height and stem angle/length critical.
Not a frame that I think will fit everyone…but then again, no frame should be for everyone…we are all unique, and should find what best works for us.
Off topic…but how do you like the mavic wintech? Did you get it with cadence?

I’ve got about 500 miles, and 3 time trial races on mine so far. I love it. Fits me well, is very stiff, yet comfortable enough for what I do with it. Here’s a picture of my ride…

I have a Wintech, as well. I still have yet to test the bloody thing.
