This bike definitely doesn't conform to the 3:1 rule!

New Specialized Shiv Triathlon-Specific frame. (For Tri so doesn't conform to the 3:1 UCI rule). Just look at the massive tubes! :shock:

Why are they so big? Because they house a bladder for water - with a drinking hose coming out on the top tube! No water bottles needed.

Is this the future of TT/Tri bikes?

    Yeah, but it's going to be a right pain putting the bike in the freezer to sterilise the bladder :lol:

    Didn't one of Lance's old Trek TT bikes already have this system?

    You can sterilise things by freezing them? That's a new one to me!

    I store my camelbak bladder in the freezer when I'm not using it. No bugs.

    And if you use water in it rather than energy drink - far less likely to get bugs. Just use gels instead of the drink ?
