Obviously the new "super" bikes are the most appealing, but they either carry a very heavy price tag or are not readily available. Additionally, the stack and reach charts cannot be found or are not published on the manufactures website. The Shiv (google it if you are unaware of what it is) would be my primary choice, controlling for price and fit (the fit charts are out and yes they make one that fits), but it probably won't hit the market mid season. I really dont want to ride merckx style for half this season. So I ended up going with a multiple time trial world champion....

New Bike Alert (well frameset for now)
As a team member of Ag3r I have set my personal goals and focus around time trialling. For some odd reason I enjoy riding at 27mph with a heart rate of 180+, but wasn't a fan of loosing feeling to particular areas of interest. Therefore I set off on a mission to get a reliable bike that "FITS" within my meager married college mans budget. Obviously I wanted a faster bike than my old Felt B2 that fitted better. Essentially I had numerous options and had access to numerous bikes I used to establish my fit parameters. After playing around with three different bikes, I knew that I needed a bike with a reach of 419mm and a stack of 498mm so this eliminated the majority of my list.

What they said....I think.
You could have gotten one of these and called it what you want.

Merckx style is the best!
