Specialized unveiled the highly anticipated Shiv Tri bike in Kona, Hawaii yesterday. This new bike sits alongside the Shiv TT and will make a lot of sense for most triathletes.

This year’s Felt superbike was superpriced. Next year’s is super duper priced, if you want electronic shifting. But there’s a Dura Acey version of it that’s nicely priced, the DA4, showing up in September.
Cameron Dye recorded the fastest bike split at Rev3 in Knoxville aboard his Kestrel 4000S and has been setting the pace at quite a few events now.
If you’re thinking about electronic shifting, there are few bikes designed with forethought, and executed with precision, with Shimano Di2 in mind. The Speed Concept 9.9 is one such bike.
Jordan Rapp built up his Specialized Shiv just before the 2011 Avia Wildlower Triathlon and we had a closer look at his setup. As a bonus, Jordan also did a video walk-through.
Enjoy this closer look at the Cannondale Slice High Modulus of Austrian Pro Michael Weiss, with quite a few pics and lots of details.
German Pro Sebastian Kienle is currently racing in the USA and we had a chance to look closer at his Scott Plasma 3.
Andrew Yoder and Julie Dibens spent the day in the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, NC with folks from bike sponsor Trek and bike fitting system Retul. Slowtwitch was there to check it out.
On a recent trip through Chattanooga, TN we managed to get a look inside the American Bicycle Group and managed to snap a few images of the people there and some of the ongoing projects.
With the 2011 racing season almost upon us, Andy Potts traveled to the A2 wind tunnel in Mooresville, NC to get checked out and dialed on his new Kestrel 4000.
This is the sweet spot in the Specialized Transition line-up. Were I a dealer selling Specialized, I’ve had ordered pallet after pallet of this model. If a Transition is in your future, get it soon, while the getting’s good.
The current bike build project is the highly anticipated Scott Plasma 3 and the initial setup of this bike is done. Enjoy this Scott Plasma 3 gallery.
The CD0.1 has a unique narrative. Clever, really. An asymmetric down tube that moves air from the drive side of the bike to the left side, with a smartly-spec’d midrange kit at $3300 for a complete bike.
