Orica Green-Edge

 

Stuart O’Grady’s Addict SL is a new, updated version of Scott’s Addict road bike—which has been on hiatus since the company released the Foil aero-road frame in 2011. The company says that new version is both lighter and more aerodynamic than the original (though it’s still shy of the Foil when put against a headwind) over previous additions. Scott also thinned the seatstays to add comfort for the long days Orica-GreenEdge will face at the Tour. The team Addict is outfitted with next-generation, minimally badged Shimano C50 wheels, Continental Pro LTD tyres, and a PRO cockpit.

 

Really like this video clip

Apologies if this has been previously discussed, but has anybody noticed the absence of back brake calipers on the RadioShack Trek bikes? Where are they?

Right behind the bottom bracket, underneath, just below the chainstay.

Apparently an aero-dynamic gain.
