Title: an interesting frame design
Post by: slimp on March 09, 2009, 12:54:49 AM

check out this (mt/road?) frame from a recent bike show.  I wonder where they are getting their inspiration for this design?

thats strange, it works fine on my end, I will try to see if I can fix it
edit: fixed, just pasted in links, it wouldn't let me put the image links in my post for whatever reason

Looks like a quadrangle with bent tubes. nothing new there.

I think where the bottom tube meets the steerer tube can be moved up to eliminate the extra toptube that loops down. It'd have to be beefed up a little more but you save on tubing! Other than that, I'd so ride the Fixed gear. It looks gorgeous!
