++ this should be more common to shoot the bike/frame from the front to have a better idea of how chunky it is.
This is prolly the main drawback for the vb, it's head tube isn't quite in line with the current aero standards regarding head tube thickness (cf: Ostro Vam hourglass, or Pina Bolide to stay in the TT category. Said bolide won Ironman world championship btw, and the tubes aren't that deep either)

Would love for an upgraded VB TT frame going in that direction though !

I'm pretty sure the Argon 18 predates the VB (at least the prior version, I think the current Argon 18 got a slight facelift last year). The VB is basically a copy of the Trek Speed Concept.

Yes, the VB is just a Trek rip-off with a slower cockpit

I'd like to know how the vision extenisions are slower than the one that come stock on the speed concept

#5
Two piece basebar, visible bolts, completely blunt profile riser bridge, huge blunt profile on the bottom of extensions. It's not like they have a lot of rise and a deep streamlined profile that would significantly affect the effective cross section of the forearm like proper extensions do.

Yishunbike has the TT912, it has a bayonet-style fork but the rear-end doenst look like the Argon 18
