Sweeet! What's the deal with that Crankset though? Is it Dura Ace? Just looks kind of odd.

Interesting flaring at the middle of the seat tube.
More info on 04 Dura Ace can be found at http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php...atures/rabocamp I'm still racing a 7 speed but one day I'll move to 9 or 10. |

That 'cutout' on the seat tube seems like it is just for looks. To get any aero benefit, the tyre needs to be within about 5mm of a seat tube cut out, as in a Cervelo P3 or P2K. The wheel on this bike is considerably more than 5 mm from that cut out. The new Dura Ace 2004 crankset is fairly ugly... I think Campagnolo will be pleased.

that foil shape seat tube will not provide a drag reduction for the wheel, but it will provide a drag reduction strictly for the tube as compared to a normal round cross section. It is correct to point out that this benefit is small in comparison to the fluid stream meeting the tire/wheel cross section, however, unless it is very close to the tire/wheel.
