Canadian ITU superstar Paula Findlay raced in the Super Sprint Tri GP in Las Vegas this past week and I took a closer look at her Specialized Alias Pro. Specialized launched this women's specific triathlon bike last year in Kona and was touted as a newby bike of sorts, so I was surprised to see Findlay racing on it, but in all reality there is nothing newby about it. Plus Findlay told me that she loves this bike.

Simple does it.

Findlay rides a 3T Ergosum bar with SRAM Red controls.

No mini extensions, but a barfly mount.

The fork of the Alias Pro connects nicely with the frame.

Only one bottle on the bike prior to the race and that is how she competed.

I guess there is no need to ask her about her bike fitter.

As we mentioned before, she is a SRAM Red athlete.
