Thanks Ben. From the looks I like has the Choco has a similar look as the flats of drops. I usually ride close to or on the curves of the Albatross but have thought the Choco might give me more area. I am towards the bottom of my same and the same with the Bleriot I have, so the TT is plenty long and I added a longer stem on the Bleriot as the one I was using was just too short.
