What kind of front drink system is on Luke McKenzie’s bike? Can’t make out the name from the photo.

I’m thinking it’s this guy:

Yep – the last poster nailed it. I’ve used it a couple of times and have no complaints. There’s also a little zippered pouch on the side facing the headtube, which can hold about 5 gels or a couple of bars. It doesn’t hold a TON of water, but it’s very easy to refill on the fly. There are two compartments with about 12 ounces of room each.
Vision should have it to their dealers pretty soon, if not already. While it looks carbon, the shell is plastic, so I don’t think the price will be too outrageous.

Very cool, thanks for the info. It looks like this has been in development since before interbike last year, but I’ve not seen it posted anywhere else. It looks like a really nice alternative to the Profile Design series of aerobar-drink holders. Unfortunately, the Vision website is pretty poor, and info on it is hard to find.
If anyone has any information or knows when & where you could get this, I’d appreciate it!
See my reply about this in http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=2915464.
I thought it was carbon, well, if not then I’m not sure why it’s $200. I guess YMMV as far as what you think about it, but on the not-so-smooth back roads of Wisconsin it didn’t work at all for me.
