Sampson Sports has put together some of its existing and new products to create a time trial bike package that it says will allow riders to affordably assemble a sub-16-pound aero bike.

The package includes Sampson's new Stratics time trial bars with Sampson's stem, brake levers, brakes, cranks, bottom bracket, pedals, saddle, and front and rear derailleur.

The package includes Shimano Dura-Ace shifters and cassette.

Sampson Sports' Eric Sampson said combining the package with a 1700-gram frame and 2100-gram wheels will produce a 15.5-pound bike.

The full weight of the Sampson package is 3235 grams and retails for $2199, a few hundred dollars less than buying the parts separately.

Sampson also plan to release a second time trial package that will be less expensive and about a pound heavier.
