Bert Grabsch (Germany) rode this Specialized S-Works Shiv TT to a top-10 result in the world time trial championships, nearly three minutes behind compatriot and fellow Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider Tony Martin. Photo: VeloNews.com -

Grabsch's cockpit is beyond being slammed, and requires a custom stem for him to get his desired amount of drop from saddle to bar. Photo: VeloNews.com -

It may be a bit of an optical illusion, but that Garmin quarter-turn mount on the end of Grabsch's stem looks like it would be a bit difficult to read with the angle it's at. Photo: VeloNews.com -

Grabsch, unlike Martin, opted for tubular wheels rather than clinchers. Grabsch ran a solid Zipp disc rear and an 808 Firecrest front on the flat world championship course. Photo: VeloNews.com -

Grabsch had special tires glued up that Specialized mechanics referred to as Pro Tour Time Trial tubulars, which is a model that doesn't exist in the Specialized catalog, at least not yet. We would expect the Pro Tour Time Trial tubular to be somewhat similar to the Turbo tire, but with a narrower width for reduced drag. Photo: VeloNews.com -
