This is totally against the current trend for aero frames but makes an interesting bike.

I had a small go on this,


Light and very nimble but not great to ride, it was too stiff and all vibration was passed on to rider. Over a long distance it is apparently "tiring".

It would be a very nice thing to have on the wall of my man-cave as a talking point. (At $6,000 a frame, it's not really in the running yet.) It'd be a bugger to clean after a ride though.

Bet it's a bugger to clean.

Would get very heavy after a good mud ride as well...

Wouldn't fancy the top tube "cheese grater" effect of a rapid stop!!!! :-O

That's interesting - my initial thought was that both these bikes would have been extremely flexy.
