Of course that was w/ TT levers on aero bars but that machine was so specialized for the flat closed course TT it was nearly useless for operation on open public roads, much less down a mountain.

Since road "aero" road designs are well proven and widely available what advantage would an emasculated TT machine sans the aero bars, wheels and TT position have over an aero design intended for road use descending mountains?

Since the lump on top of the bike is the worst for producing drag you will of course already have a well adapted low/aero position, full low-drag kit of skin-suit, shoe-covers, helmet and freshly shaved legs?
