My missus last night said it "looked nice... right up until a 5 year old drew the back end of it".

Hopefully once it enters mass production it might be a bit more affordable!
Only a bit; the £11k build only seems to have £5k of parts on it, so dropping down to Ultegra with metal wheels and no power meter only gets the complete bike down to about £8k. Basically, the fuselage is £6k, which is not surprising as the ancient UCI-legal S-Works TT fuselage is still £4.5k

the new Shiv Tri
Where to start on that. The gap between the seatpost and that rear sail for a truly horrible aero transition on quite a big aero surface. The fat ED209-shaped brake levers followed by clunky bar tape that doesn't line up, followed by a step at the back. uncovered holes in the aero bars. I know it folds, but the fricking frontal size of that base bar. What's going on with the gussets on the underside of the aerobar mount? Why are the arm rests so fat with everything filled in? Flat back on the downtube all the way down. At least tape some of those gaps up so it looks a bit more aero. The whole thing is a fucking mess and would bring some of my F1 colleagues out in a cold sweat.

as a trintelope with an interest in tt'ing I like the look of the new Shiv Tri, particularly that they have designed to get low at the front I don't like the price, also not sure how easy it would be to refill on the go, given there's now way of carrying a standard bottle on the frame based on the pics ive seen.
Hopefully once it enters mass production it might be a bit more affordable!
