About the Hooker Elite and its comparison to the Trimble:
"The only bikes I know of that ever compared favorably with the Hooker aerodynamically were the Softrides, the old Zipps, and the Lotus. The Cervelos and Softrides today probably come closest, and may exceed the Hooker in certain respects, especially in variable winds (this is John Cobb's opinion). There was one bike that was only very sporadically produced that actually "beat" a Hooker in the wind tunnel, and that was the monocoque made by Brent Trimble. This bike was of carbon and had an entirely solid main triangle, like a disc wheel."
