Pretty unique Shark

Cool all around asymmetric stays and paint job.

Oh man, I love those seat stays...

[Hawker]

Very nice! So glad it is not my size.

[MattTuck]

Something fitting about the yoga poses painted on the frame and the funky seat stays... as if the frame itself is attempting some new yoga position.

Thanks for sharing :)

I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to turn left on that thing....

I kind of like the weirdness of this, but it would take a lot to convince me that it is 100% safe in terms of handling.

I'm actually ok with this frame, but I'm curious.... how will the brakes work? It seems the bridge is torqued to one side; it's gonna make it hell to mount brakes to work well.

unless, of course, they're thinking discs or even no brakes.

It's a track/single speed bike, so I gather the plan is no rear brake.

Front brake only, I believe. Per the ad, "carbon fork with carbon steerer, drilled for front brake"

Looks weird, but the track ends are in the same place, so your wheel is in the same place, so do the stays being offset really make a difference?

clearance for 28s might be an issue. looks snappy...a head-turner for sure. Two sets of bottle bosses???

I looked at this originally on my mobile phone and my eyes were telling me Escher inspired until I noticed the graphics.

[weehastogopee]

do the asymmetric stays have any real benefit??

I doubt it, in fact structurally it's probably inefficient.

They do however, increase the coolness factor.

[ORMojo]

Not sure if there is any real benefit, but I have zero concern about it being safe. Slawta has done this several times. I sorta like this one . . . it is my size . . . it is just up the road in Portland . . . NO, I don't need it!

I saw this one in person at NAHBS and remember liking it a lot.

I read something once that this is supposed to be stiffer when going left... :rolleyes:

[Louis]

I'll believe that when I see the FEM runs or the static test results.
