The Specialized Shiv of Jordan Rapp is ready to pounce.

The Quarq CinQo powermeter on the Specialized FACT
cranks and the SRAM Red (Black) front derailleur. Speedplay Zero training pedals are shown here, but for racing Jordan uses Speedplay Nanogram pedals.

The prototype custom John Cobb saddle.

The special custom cockpit with Zipp Vuka pads and OvalConcepts
double-bend 60deg extensions.

From this angle you can also see the front hydration system well and the Zipp Firecrest 808 front wheel with the Zipp Tangente tire.

The Zipp Super9 disc is the weapon of choice here.

Stainless steel bolts are a nice detail to prevent ugly rust from sweat.
