Don't be surprised to see this bike on top of the time charts for individual time trial this Saturday.
The top down view shows of Trek's Kammtail Virtual Foil shape on the downtube and seattube as well as the internal seat post binder and awfully aero Bontrager water bottle.
Fabian is keen on the number seven for good look and runs these custom made medallions on all of his bikes.
Here's what Fabian sees when he's in the saddle of his Trek Speed Concept bike.
Fabian's ProLogo saddle gives a nod to both his Swiss national title and Olympic gold medal.
Bontrager doesn't make disc wheels so they buy them (from Lightweight) and use them for Bonti logo placement, but the front wheel is all Bontrager. Schwalbe tires and a sweetly designed in-board front brake round out the front end.
Here's another view of the aero qualities of the Bontrager bottle and the wide stance of the proprietary BB90 bottom bracket.
Fabian's "Spartacus" graphics will be a production item (for both the Madone and Speed Concept 9 Series) that can be had out of Trek's Project One program for just under $12,000. The American made base model Series 9 bike sells for just over $9000.
