    World's biggest stem.

    I'm still trying to figure out how it gets around the new UCI 3:1 rules.

    There is mention of a credit card size gap between the front nose-cone/brake-housing and the headtube. I think this is to ensure that it can be argued that the whole front end is two separate entities and can there for be six times as long as it is wide (two 3:1 parts would be legal - one 6:1 would not). Felt are using a similar line of legalism for their TT bike.

    I expect to see credit card size gaps all over the place on top end aero machines from now on. If they get away with it.

    Legal or not, tell me you don't want a go.

    Yea I think that's it. There seemed to be lots of teams using the same Giant bike today on the TTT

    Deffo not the giant. Cleverer design, prettier, and lighter.

    Lots of differences there. The giant has a completely vertical seatmast for instance.

    convergent evolution is inevitable, but I think they're quite dissimilar.

    I'm not sure why, but I quite like the Scott... The Specialized looks a bit 'unfinished', but the Giant is very nice!
