Peloton: The peloton (from French, literally meaning ball and related to the English word platoon), field, bunch or pack is the large main group in a road bicycle race. Riders in a group save energy by riding close (drafting or slipstreaming) near (particularly behind) other riders. The reduction in drag is dramatic; in the middle of a well-developed group it can be as much as 40%.

Depends on the material.

Pics no 2 is a Cervelo R2.5 Team CSC, it's not as comfortable as the Cervelo R2.5 Bayonne, but still a very comfortable bike comparing with some stiffer frame such as the Ridley Damocles.... which I rode for 40km and totally give up ( I am old... bone rattles ...)

But if you are comparing to the old aluminium bike..... this is like magic carpet.......
