No integrated hydration?

First thing I noticed as well.... :(
I love the integrated bottle on the Ventum design.
The built in bent box on top, rubbery with the split top opening, do these work well? I thought folks were constantly complaining about them on the Felt IA's, etc?
Otherwise, I really like the look, and the Medium looks like it would fit me quite well... :)
I think it looks like a Ventum that has been left in the curing oven too long, and that they forgot to attach the integrated water bottle to.
Questionable geometry, as follows the current disappointing trend towards sit-up-and-beg positioning. Mentioned above, I'm one of the aliens in Dan's article and with pad stack/reach of 575/510 I can literally only just make this work, with the medium totally slammed and pads under-mounted and all the way forward. Small serves my stack a bit better, but no chance on reach. And I wasn't the
most alien-like in Dan's survey, not that much of an outlier and there are plenty other freaks like me, probably with fast positions.
I just can't get my head around it. All of these aero features on the frame, but they forgot about the large human sitting on the thing which makes up the vast majority of the drag.
Between this and the Canyon on the front page, I'm feeling all a bit meh about these new bikes. Sticking with my P3C until I can afford the Canyon SLX.
