UCI drops the 6.8 rule
Roadmap to 5.8kg now please. Give manufacturers a couple of years for each incremental step.
Current rules discriminate against lightweight riders, encourage flabby product offerings and fugly stems.

Well ... current Giant paint is really nice in the flesh. The TCR is lush.
That’s all I’ve got.

Is it even that aero?
It doesn't make any difference at the speed most people ride. Even the pros mostly ride in the lighter option given the chance, probably because these big aero seatposts aren't very comfortable.

Is it even that aero?
I think it’s there for integration of cables/hoses and having them tucked away is inherently more aero.
I don’t mind the look too much but they feel cheap in the flesh and it’s exactly the sort of thing I can see breaking.

TBH that Giant will probably look awesome in 10 years time when the UCI drops the 6.8 rule and builds go lightweight again. It may be appreciated slightly ironically as a relic from the aero generation, like Spinergies or Ergostems, which are fundamentally shit but everyone has a soft spot for. I’m being generous. Is it even that aero?
