Is Fabian's new bike even UCI legal? The farin... thing in front of the headtube looks awfully close to the regulations?

Looks very similar to another highly aggressive tt machine....

Have they perhaps been looking at the Giant?

I'm thinking it is the Giant with some tweeks to make it anti-Giant for re-sale. Probably made at the same plant as the Giant, on alternating days :p

I hope it is fast because it sure is ugly, but not as ugly as that Giant/Columbia abomination. That thing has to be the ugliest bike I have seen since the Trek Y-Foil.

Do the decent thing OP and inform Specialized that their new bike probably fails UCI regs :)

Seriously, it looks like a one-off rolling test rig evaluating Giant's (the competition) front-end design rather than a bike to be raced on, so UCI regs & probably styling are not that important at the moment.
