French maid guy is a real perv... Peter's Parlee Z1 is fantastic, but overall will get stomped by it's inefficient aerodynamics (typically-shaped frame, though excellent in all other ways, and ADA wheels are in reality not all they're cracked up to be - but they are light and they're coming out with an 800g wheelset!). Greg Powell has two stems, a concrete slab of a "saddle," wheels that don't exist, pedals that are still prototypes and the wavering Q-factor is quite inefficient, and the free float is not enough), a dangerous seatpost, heavy and uncomfortable tape, and wheels that don't exist - you mean 58mm depth). M2Racer Power Module is for adjusting saddle forward for climbs (I know convential wisdom says the opposite, but think about it objectively long and hard) and is removeable when not desired.
