One of the first true aero-road bikes on the market, the AC1 by Blue Competition Cycles has been very successful in the domestic racing scene. It features a unique dropped down-tube with a teardrop cross-section that runs parallel to the road. A test by VeloNews rated the AC1 second only to the popular Cervelo S5.

Building upon the success of the first generation Triad, the second-generation Triad SL features an integrated aero-bar and fork/stem assembly that is unique in its ease of adjustment. The Triad SL shares a down-tube that is similar to the AC1 and horizontal chain-stays to reduce frontal resistance.

The Triad Elite featured a proprietary stem that needed some cost-cutting measures while making it easier to install with fully internal wiring. I developed a new version that had more space inside for the new SRAM eTap junction box and combined the top-cap with the cover plate. In order to control costs and and simplify inventory, the same faceplate could be used on all three sizes. Provided 3D printed samples to test for fit before sending out for production machining.

When working with Greg LeMond, updated the existing Revolution Direct-Drive indoor trainer to fit 11-speed cassettes and developed the WattBox accessory. This small device featured an algorithm that accurately calculated the power being generation by the cyclist through the trainer. Also created the limited-edition paint schemes used on the Time frames to commemorate this 3 Tour de France wins.
