I'm surprised that odysseys first frame will be a flatland frame. Good on them. The cap idea is neat too. I'm going in a different direction with those but hey, if it works it works. I think the fact that you'll have to have a special tool to get the cap in and out will be the downfall.

But as for the frame, I think its sexy. I'd ride that.

I truly hope this frame does come with a manly CS length. otherwise I could safely say that Odyssey /Terry is not doing anything else than stealing ares design. Am I wrong here?

I saw that new headset on jim ceilinski's new sunday frame.  they shave like 1/3 of the metal from the headset... thats why you see the silver metal showing.. its enough metal for the bearings to sit in but not any excess

The end caps look like they have need a ISIS Bottom bracket tool to be installed.

Brian ^ from talking to jim c. About it he says you don't lose any stregth by shaving some material.  It slims it down, takes away some metal and bulk.  Looks good! 

Also, I think that the downtube curve is a bit more mellow than ares.  Either way I don't think it is a ripoff of ares, flatlanders realize we need a bit more room under downtube, what is logical answer? Bend it!

GT did it, fly did it, ares did it, st martin did it, colony did it, dragonfly did it, hoffman did it, khe did it and now flatware... It is just logical!

It happens across the board with BMX.  One company designs something that works and the industry follows.

Add different geometry etc and it tweeks it a bit, but all based on same idea.  See macneil seatposts/seats or integrated seatclamps or 1 1/8 headsets.  If it works and people like it stick with it.

man, all those prototypes, and he's still riding an ares freecoaster...I guess i'm just gonna  give up waiting for the g-coaster and look into the stolen easystreet...
and those pegs are the exact opposite of what i'd wan't, plastic with metal caps...looks like I'll be going to "toflat" for my next pegs when my tree's die...



buuuuut I love how that bike is just a freecoaster and chain away from being entirely odyssey= sick sick sick
