Extreme Veteran  681    Mount Joy |  Subject: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona?Picture from Luke McKenzie's blog showing Lieto on left and Crowie on right training. After comparing tope tube, seat stays and some other small geometry specs from the angle I am almost positive this is the Shiv which Crowie is sporting!

Thanks to the angle of that pic it's not the bikes I'm staring at. |

But what is it about *the bikes* that makes you think this? |

Pro 5892 , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? Orbea has been talking about a new bike for some time now that has never really materialized... could this be it?! It would kind of make sense since Crowie did sign a long term (lifetime?) contract with Orbea... Edited by audiojan 2011-09-27 3:24 PM |

What makes you say that? It looks like the same P4 that he was riding earlier to me. Edited by Lurch 2011-09-27 3:42 PM |

Extreme Veteran 644 Anaheim | Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? Neither the shiv or the p4 have curved seat stays like that. Also that bike is missing the goofy little seatmast airfoil. But, I couldn't tell ya what it is. |

Elite 3498 Laguna Beach | Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? I think we'll learn in the next few days that the key issue here is effective seat tube angle- the seat tube angle the rider is sitting at as opposed to the seat tube angle of the frame, and also the front end geometry- head tube height and head tube angle, fork rake and trail. These factors do influence athlete's performance tangibly. What we will see on the pier in Kona is going to be reflective of that, and has forced some companies to do some new thinking. I'll suggest it is more about geometry and position than about brand and model- and that is what is being flushed out here over the previous 16 weeks. |

What makes you say that? It looks like the same P4 that he was riding earlier to me. Looks to me to be a Cervelo made bike just due to the paint scheme. Not the same one he rode in Vegas though. If you set the pic in this thread as your background, you can better see the differences. I can not read what it says on the top tube. |

Pro 3804 Seacoast, NH! | Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? Cervelo definitely. Those stays are very similar to a P2....but with integrated brakes. Why's he out riding with no water bottles? Especially when Lieto has two....looks like a test drive to me. |

One between the bars and the one on the seat. |

| Regular 408 | Subject: RE: Crowie Riding Specialized Shiv for Kona? Personally I don't think it is a Cervelo. My WAG is that it is a Specialized. New Shiv or new model. If not a Specialized my second guess would be an Avanti. Here is a link to a higher res version of the pic. http://www.lukemckenzie.com/news.php With that said the two bottles, one rear and 2nd between aero bars does sound like a Cervelo Edited by bartturner 2011-09-28 5:39 AM |

I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say here; I understand you are trying to discuss tribike geometry and how the bikes are built but I don't see what it has to do with the OP. Also, fleshed out vs flushed out. Shane |
