No, but it looks nice, except for those external cables :-(
On the other hand, their aerobar looks awesome:

The Kuota Kalibur has external cables and it owns the fastest bike split in Kona!

Norman Stadler owns the fastest bike split on Kona. He just happens to ride a kuota. I'm sure he would have done it on any of the bike in the pro race.

Yeah it's hard to imagine that internal cable routing would be the difference between first and second.
But back to Kyilee's question:
I haven't been on one, but I've seen a couple and they are really nice looking bikes. And I believe that Spencer Smith was aboard a planet X at Kona.

I'm not gonna argue that internal cables actually offer any advantage. I just think external cables are ugly -- tribikes are supposed to be sexy and sleek, not clumsy and cable-ridden. Not that the Kalibur is "clumsy," but I think internal cables would make it just that much cooler.

I agree on the cables... however, given the price that my boy and I can get those bikes, and the good things we have heard about them, we have decided that I get one for xmas from him, and he gets one for xmas from me (as blogged)! :D
Thanks for the input!

Congratulations! Should be tons of fun to ride. Are you going with the Planet X wheels and aerobars too? Those bars look SWEET.
Has anyone ridden or bought one of those? Any thoughts or comments on them?
