I’m with you on that. Former Vamoots owner and I loved riding that refined and purposefully constructed machine. These 3D dropouts look awkward to me. Is the mismatched diameter necessary? Couldn’t they have smoothed out the transition or matched the tube diameter? Technology (3D printing) for the sake of technology, no thanks. What are the benefits with the aesthetic compromise?
