Yes, I promise not to tell anyone else. My good friend Tom is right: it is a pretty stupid idea. The aerodynamics are so ridiculous they're ridonkulous, and that frame weighs _more_ than the really light stuff like Scotts and even the heavier Cervelo, I think.

They're probably more expensive too, right? I'll bet that in our lifetime, we'll see some sort of iso-truss tubing being viable for bikes, but the concept's gotta be a lot lighter, not heavier, in order to compensate for the aerodynamic disadvantages. One area where the concept should perhaps should be applied today is in the rear derailleur design, but once again, it's gotta be lighter. thanks, Fred. presented by Gringioni. ps. p0WN THE p0DIUM! |

This looks like something they did just because they could. I wonder how long it would take me to break one? |
