For me, its between the Specialized and the Scott.

 

P4 will be fast, too, but it does not score big in the looks department. Perhaps a nice paint job will help.

 

The look has a very nice paint job! I don't like the bent top tube, though.

 

As far as aerodynamics go, it seems streight top tubes are best - Specialized and Bianchi tried bent/curved/sloping, but went back to streight with their latest designs. The problem with sloping top tubes seems to be then the airflow is not 100% from the front.

The bike does look a bit too old school for my taste. I love the retro look of thin tubes and chrome lugs of a classic steel Colnago road bike, but a TT bike must look fost and futuristic imo.

 

I find the weight hard to believe - I would have guessed it to be closer somewhere between 8-9 kgs.

Steel is denser, but you can go so much thinner (narrow tubes / thinner walls). nd the ride quality is AWESOME.

 

I'd like to take that little guy out for a spin. The handlebar mounted on the fork beneath the 'steerer' tube should be uber-rigid and I'd guess incredibly light :)
