Storck has unveiled what it claims is the lightest disc brake bike on the market.
The German brand launched the limited edition of its Aernario Disc Signature at The Cycle Show in Birmingham's NEC, along with a new range of women's specific bikes.
Only 51 editions of this stealthy Aernario will be made, marking the 51st birthday of Storck founder and manager Marcus Storck, who has designed the bike and chosen all of the components.
Each bike will be signed Marcus Storck, alongside its unique edition number.
Built up with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic gearing and AX Lightness P38T carbon-fibre wheels, the limited edition Aernario saves weight everywhere; it's not even painted.

The frame's raw carbon has been polished smooth, by hand, and helps the full bike weigh in at a reported 6.5kg - 0.3kg below the UCI's racing limit of 6.8kg.
To own one of these lightweight, aero, disc-equipped machines you'll have to fork out just shy of £10,500 - approximately €14,200 at current exchange rates.
Aerfast (top) and Aernario (bottom) models now come with women's specific build, but not geometry.
Also on Storck's The Cycle Show stand two new women's specific bikes, the race-ready Aerfast Pro, and the endurance road bike, the Aernario Pro.
However, Storck has not altered the geometry or look of the frames; the changes come in the contact points - saddle, bars, etc.
Storck says it has created the range to highlight the options for women and the fact that its frames can be unisex.
