Ha, clever, Weisan--there's certainly a wide variety of curves out there... Yes, intent is key here, I think

That Retrotec is so cool. I was inspired to see more of those, found this--awesome!

Seriously rad-looking. But, erm, wouldn't you be a bit nervous about structural integrity if you weren't a lightweight?

Like this, you mean?

Years ago Aegis had a contest to name their new top-of-the-line road frame which was going to supplant the "Aro Svelte" below.
I wanted to win that contest, but I did not and cannot remember the model name which was selected.
Then Aegis went o-o-b some years later I think, and now I often see unpainted (and bondo-packed at every joint) Aegis frames for sale on eBay, at very excessive prices.
It is a bit disconcerting, to see the stark reality under the glowing mascara.

And curved seat tube/curved down tube MTBs (and curved seatstays for a wishbone) are normal here...

This may have taken 'curved' too far.
