First post and starting a new thread..

Would like your opinion on this, found a new a german time trial thing on http://www.fiets.nl and the manufacturer, storck, claims it to beat all the others. Does anyone know anything about it?

Details, specs, riders?

Looks nice but nothing too out of the ordinary for a modern TT machine. Interesting mainly that it's Di2 specific, but I assume we'll see more of that this year.

I think "fastest bike in the world" is actually whatever bike Fabu is sitting on right now, the engine is what counts.

and I suspect this thread belongs in bikes and gear, not procycling as I don't think Storck do that much int he way of top level team sponsorship.

I'm sure it means in a windtunnel, under certain conditions, it's Cd is the lowest ever, altho I'm sure it's a frame maker claim, not a claim from an independent tester that tested a slew of bicycles, w/o a rider. It's like saying a F1 car body, or aircraft, has the lowest Cd in a windtunnel and not saying anything about the engine or engines in the car or aircraft.
