From the description :

“ The perforated fork allows the air generated by the rim to be evacuated and thus helps to improve the penetration into the air. Thanks to the rigidity of the bases and the bottom bracket combined with the flexibility of the shrouds and the top tube, our bike is easily carried in high percentages.”

I’ve never ridden a high-end carbon bike. Or acted in a porn movie. And now, I can do both

Do they have a white version named Cocaine? Or one with SRAM called Meth?

According to the description: " Designed in France and made in Italy. with exceptional savoir-faire." You expected less?

The dimples are not a gimmick. As long as you're riding over 100mph and rotating.

lmfao, the imagery.

Won’t make a difference on a headtube, regardless of how much money is spent.

Awesome post. Thanks for the laugh.

I also like fignon's comment. 17k Euros? Whoa.. It's the price that's .. uh.. high.

Exactly. I recall reading a detailed technical debunking of the entire rim-dimple fad from ~2008 that made the points you make above. Really surprised/not surprised this fad is back.

I wouldn't get one...but Sarto undeniably makes a spectacular bike. Better to order it from them directly, or get a no nonsense build from Gaulzetti. Trust their design or Craig's way more, personally.
