Agreed, totally pointless, non value adding and irrelevant. Who even wants to run adds on ST any more?

9 Pinarelloās in Kona 2019, fair to say thereās an opportunity to grow the brandā¦
Yep, and put LCB and Cam Wurf on them, and it could get really interestingā¦ especially if Pinarello suddenly pop a decent tri bike out of the bag!
thinking a bit out of the box tooā¦ how about if Ineos put together a properly managed pro team, a la top flight cycling team with full nutrionists, coaches etcā¦that would be an interesting move.
I wonder if the Zwift āteamā has made a few people stop and think a bit about the PR opportunities, and the cross promotion potential with a world tour cycling squad. With Ineos already pushing its running agenda with sponsorship of breaking 2, its not beyond the realms of possibilty.

Ah. Iām almost disappointed. The idea of an Ineos tri team quite appealed to me!

Agreed, how dull
Are Cube actually any good? I remember years ago they were great value bit always had a bit of a ācookie cutterā rep for me.
Theyāre now the fastest bike sheās ever ridden. Until the next one!

I think that the Cube was designed by Swiss Side, who then went on to design the new Orbea and Canyon. Question is whether Canyon and Orbea are more aero?
JP Ballard at Swiss Side is becoming the Adrian Newey (Formula One designer) of cycling aerodynamics
One benefit of the relationship with Cube is that LCB can get access to Swiss Sideās wind tunnel to optimise her position. I think that it is an order of magnitude more sophisticated than Specialized wind tunnel

Thatās itā¦ sheās cursed 
Both of those bikes look amazing, IMO.
The Cube does look very much like the new Orbea, but if I was a buying a new bike, I still wouldnāt buy a Cube based on LCB (or any pro) riding one.
What Tri bike do you buy?
The one that fits!
(Also - rim brakes)
These bikes all look great but donāt forget you gotta take it apart and put it back together when you go abroad to race. Invariably something breaks and then itās availability of spares.
I am sure the top pros get decent supportā¦

These are the 3 bikes coming from the Swiss Side Design Studio. To me the Cube, which is the oldest, looks a little fussy. All 3 bikes look quite different

@Poet Id buy a frameset I like the look of that fits.
Ā£8600 for the bike, Ā£2600 for the frameset.
