    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    And a new BMC to sit alongside the new SystemSix and Venge releases this week

    All look quite similar no?

    the "Aero-module" looks like it could be a PITA in cross winds. And what are they going to do with it when the top out a col and jetison all their bidons for the descent... won't be so aero then!

    "Aero or not, those custom bottle cages carry a few little quirks with them, too. BMC didn’t provide any official figures, but just given their bulk, my guess is they’re fairly heavy. More importantly, they don’t perform their core function very well. The bottles seem to be held securely enough, but it’s hard to grab them on the go. The cage’s more thoroughly wrapped shape doesn’t leave much bottle surface area for your hands, and given the option, I’d rather be hydrated and a touch slower than more aero and suffering from muscle cramps. It’ll be interesting to see what the BMC team goes with at the upcoming Tour de France."

    I reckon that we'll be seeing those 3T frames with front mech hangers glued or bolted on them next year.

    :D

    Does this happen? Most of the time they take drinks at the top right rather than carrying their bottle to the top and then disposing of it, that would be illogical at best
