A novelette, for sure. But I still am not accustomed to the "look" of a frame with an integrated seatpost. To my eyes, it shifts the visual center of gravity to a much higher point, disturbing the beautiful visual symmetry of the traditional frame on which the seatpost functions as an ornament rather than a structural member.

p.s. I know that the traditional seatpost really is a structural member. I'm playing loose with the language, however, to make a point about visual impact.

I fail to see the advantage.

Looks like a nice bike, though. COuld use a few components.

Never trust a company who doesn't know what side of the rear wheel is the drive side.

yuh, that is pretty funny! at least the skewer is on the correct side of the bike (if not the wheel).


as for functionality.. it actually scores a few minus points. i just think it looks clean. all this from someone that wore a vest with no shirt in the early 80's. there is no thing i hold in greater suspicion than my own taste.
but this month, i think it looks cool.
