Without question, one look at the Andean tells you it’s one of the most aggressive, take-no-**** rides in the history of bikes. It’s not a climber. It’s not a value ride. It’s not a comfort special. It’s like a katana,  a BMW M6 GT3, an AR-15 a Mont Blanc fountain pen. Purpose-built without exception. You want a do-it-all bike?  They’re a dime a dozen. You want to win the bike split, maybe set yourself up for a win on the run? Planning on zero aid station stops, being totally self-sufficient, an unstoppable object in perpetual motion during a race? You’ve come to the right place.

[Eldron]

I've always had a soft spot for "all out" tri bikes. Lotis/Pinarello/Softwing etc.

 

I'd love to swing a leg over that!

Just dont crash, might cut you to ribbons with all those sharp edges

[Guest notmyname]

Eeeeeeeuw.

I like it. I think it is purpose-built, function over form.

 

It's a bike for non-drafting triathletes, the frame is built to handle three water bottles, three energy bars, 10 gel packets, tools, and a spare tube — all in an aero fashion. - bikeradar

$ 4,779 to $ 8,069

 

So not as bad as you may have thought for a bike such as this...

fairly reasonable, cheaper than top line Cervelos and the like.
