I like the thinking outside the box, but, 76 deg STA? BB drop looks like zero. Good luck.

Goodness me! The future, now. Which part of the frame is this?


I may be suspending all frame purchasing decisions. Clearly we are on cusp of a seismic shift in frame fabrication and the possibilities it will bring...are tantalising.

Looks like the downtube to me. I think that picture is from the steel bike.

Here's the link, lots more pictures on there.

That's how you get ejected over the bars and rip your headtube off.

Ah, thanks. So that's the head tube 'lug'? Impressive details.

I think that is a really elegant looking bike. Not sure about the fabrication type, and I am sure it is coming of age, but it is pretty amazing to look at!

76 degree seat tube is a pretty common thing nowadays. It goes with a lengthened front center and slack head tube. Helps with climbing.

Yup, definitely within the norm, from most major manufacturers too

Funny how they commented on the headtube as well. I've seen it happen. I was on a ride with a guy who's headtube ripped off when he landed. He jumped up and ran to the woods to check his junk. Funniest ***** I'd ever seen. He ended up breaking his orbital socket.
