Fatty, I’m an editor at a tech magazine who reads your blog regularly and if you want to review this for us, I will try to arrange a test ride (only if I get to come along, of course, chugging behind in a Veyron)…hg

Ok Rick,
I figured the water bottle thing out. The frame itself is an insulated water bottle. You just unscrew the cap on the handle bars and pour in your beverage of choice, then you put a TT bottle straw (included in the upgraded version) through the patented airtight one way cap valve, and bingo, they have solved the century old problem of where to put the water bottle cages on a $30,000 bike. (Did they have $30,000 bikes a century ago?)

I have a question about the ass-end … oops, the Ascend. Does anyone have an idea about where to attach the water bottle cage? How about my downtube shifters?
