Yes I know they have a front brake but it is hidden around the back of the fork. First time I have seen this. Any thoughts on the aerodynamic advantage of this?
Liberty Seguras TT bikes have no front brake!

Is that a one peice fork/crown/stem set up?
It looks like it. Definitely a cool bike! 
The fork and handlebar stem appear to be all one piece. You can see the fork pivot at the edge of the yellow section.
yup- it's all integrated- not sure of the actual benefit, but it looks pimp. He's the only Phonak guy rockin one though, must just be a prototype for now.
pretty interesting. this is how the new Look track bikes are made also...benefits anyone?
I have limited knowledge but it seems to me that it might reduce weight just as far as having a much simpler design and since its made out of carbon fiber, not sure if that is it or not.scofflaw23 said:

You replace the stem, steerer, and a bunch of bolts with a 1 piece assembly that's lighter, simpler, and more aerodynamic. I can't believe it hasn't been done before.
I have the same pedals on my bike!
keep in mind that the bikes cant be under about 15 lbs. 8.6 kg? anyone know 100%?mtnbkr4235 said:I have limited knowledge but it seems to me that it might reduce weight just as far as having a much simpler design and since its made out of carbon fiber, not sure if that is it or not.
I was watching "the lance chronicles" two days ago and they were weighing lance's TT bike, and had to call trek and tell them that it was too light.
sorta funny- but it looked like they had a digital scale from a post office. how fitting.
