I remember when this was on Kickstarter.

Am I the only person to whom the thing that stands out most about this ridiculous bike is the radially-laced front wheel for disc brakes?

Quite obviously a horrible render and not a picture of a real bike. Take a closer look at where the RD cable goes, the chain is strange, no disc calipers, no rear disc. What else can you spot? But cool to see Kickstarter become something else. Maybe they'll fix the wonky geo.

To me looks like a nice looking bike, realistically priced too, I would buy one? well doubt it but looks super nice.

do you think the NSA could hack into that bike and track your wattage output?

Haha, good catches, I also see a mechanical Shimano rear derailleur with di2 shifters.

Can those be the real geo's?

If so, they put 21 too many gears on their "fixie"

No but Vlad and his Russian goons could. :)

Good to know that the electronics will register your 234rpm cadence....
