Van Dessel: Project WR
Why you should love it: Proof that carbon bikes do not rule supreme! Maximum aero shaping and superior ride quality are achieved by way of trusted and proven 7005 triple butted alloy. The Project WR is aerodynamic, light, and offers an exceptionally confident ride. Emphasis on creating not just a fast, but also a very comfortable bike makes the Project WR perfectly suited for events ranging from short explosive time trials to grueling Ironman type endurance events.
Frame features: High-end tubing with triple butting and thorough aero detailing deliver a stand out frame. Features include a shaped headtube, teardrop seattube with integrated carbon aero seatpost, wheel cut-out, internal cable routing, and full carbon monocoque aero fork.
Component features: Dura Ace, Vision Tech TriMax aerobar with Vision aerolevers, FSA SLK carbon cranks with 44/56 eliptical TT chainrings, FSA RD400 wheelset with bladed spokes, Cane Creek brake calipers, and Van Dessel titanium railed TT saddle with carbon injected base.
Noteworthy comments: The Project WR was ridden to commanding victories at both the 2005 Eagleman and Lake Placid Hawaii Ironman qualifiers (35-39 age group)

Van Dessel: Project PR
At Van Dessel, one of our goals is to bring out the best in you. Your personal best, that is. The PR shares the same geometry as the WR, with aero seat stays, aero seattube, aero downtube, and internal cable routing. Originally designed for some of our pro riders, we decided making the PR available was the only fair thing to do. After all, why should they have all the fun? And all the prize money?

Jamis: Trilogy
An aggressively aero-sculpted 7005-series aluminum frame makes the Trilogy a two-wheeled rocket-ship. This year’s addition of aero-sectioned, road-buzz beating carbon fiber seatstays make it even faster still, with a ride that won’t destroy your back before the running leg at the local tri. Easton’s EC90 Aero all-carbon fork, Syntace Stratos and SLS Aero Clip-on handlebars and a Mavic Cosmic Elite wheelset give you an extra advantage so you can destroy your PR right out of the box.

Jamis: Comet
Comet mimics the Trilogy’s slice-through-headwinds aero frame design and gives you performance where it counts, with a bladed-spoke Formula aero wheelset, Syntace bar and aero-blade carbon fork. Shimano’s reliable 105 derailleurs run through the gears via Dura-Ace bar end shifters, so you can just put your head down and motor. Ready to race out of the crate, or use it as a weekday trainer.
