high tech mud collectors
I have this mental image of someone gluing this together like a high school science project toothpick bridge, except with carbon fiber and epoxy instead of toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. This bike is kind of cool in a fancy materials kind of way, and i’m sure it’s fine in Utah, but all i can think about is how much mud the tubes would collect on a sloppy ride around here. And how many pieces would there be on the first crash? The warranty page is mysteriously blank…

and possibly kevlar shorts… and a cup.
It’s supposed to be (or at least make your wallet) quite lightweight, though.
Surprisingly, they didn’t build up a road or tri bike version, since that’s where the well-heeled weight weenies seem to hang out. Then again, a high, straight top tube that looks like a spiky cheese grater would be a bit scary… I’d want more than a few cm clearance there :-)
