This bike, full of aero optimized surfaces, is a PiTA. Internal routing everywhere (at least it has intergrated tunnels for the housing), every single cable custom cut, and getting every stupid thing perfect. From a box, it will safely take 4 hours to build, adjust, and hone this ruddy thing.

My brother spent $8k on parts to build his tri bike. It’s unbelievably light.

Daaamn, that frame looks crazy. Do you already do triathlons, or is the bike incentive to do the training?

That looks amazing! Where does the electric motor go?

Enjoy. I have a Tri in NJ this weekend, but I do the aerobars on a road bike deal. With three kids and one income I can’t justify a one-trick pony of a bike, haha.

Kestrel makes a mean tri bike.

I work at a bike shop, I’ve done one triathlon. This bike was a build for a customer.....

Honestly anywhere, the triathlon people don’t even check their bikes....
