  • Electric pencil sharpener?
  • Internal routing for rear brake IMHO. If you notice the rear brake has no cable on it

  • It's none of those. It's an electical connector to charge the electic motor hidden in the frame. No, wait, it's not Cancellara's bike...

    :D

    If it was more on the side of the TT then the riders leg would always be rubbing on the brake cable..

    Sorry - no joke answer.

  • Can't believe people are running brake cables though it, It's a grease port, right? You just keep pumping grease in there and eventually it will get to the bottom bracket and headset. OK, it might double the weight of your frame, but silky smooth bearings every ride. And with the port placed where it is, you can even regrease on the move!

    I thought they had beaten the Speialised Shiv to the concept of an on board drinks resevoir, just fill the frame with water stick in a straw and your away!
