The frame looks  :huh:. I guess some idea need to put into how to strengthen it. Saw Chris Bonn damage monowin at the masters. The front wheel and the rear are not in alignment. Somewhere in the frame got twisted or bend. Anyway, it is probably still in the testing stage.

hello
2 new prototype of this frame are coming next week with the tube biger and stronger.
we will test it
It will be out in summer 2007 but we don't know yet if we'll produce it, it's not an original frame now, when we design it yes, but not anymore now.
bye
Manu

Gotta agree with hugo, that frame is pretty hideous. Hard to believe its a ST.MARTIN.

this frame looks like it offers the most clearance of all. look how the downtube connects to the BB, WAY HIGH!! 


ME LIKEY!!

St. Martin=quality. regardless of design. Function over form fellas.

The frame looks like a st.martin Darwin prototype.
I'd ride it.
