Is that fake water bottle legal? I mean I guess it must be but It's clearly not contributing anything to the BB and is much larger than 3:1?
Yes, it's legal. Frame members cannot exceed 3:1 or 80mm deep, but there is a region near the joints where 'fillets' can stray outside these bounds. Even without a fillet, the angled intersection of two 80mm x 27mm elements will be more than 3:1 if you measure in the right direction.
I think Cervelo's FEA guys will take issue with the idea that it's not making a structural contribution too.
