Can't imagine that's very sturdy. :-\
What's the weight limit? 20lbs.
He's 168, & that is a very explosive race distance.
People say the same about the (Frail) trellis' on our bikes. And no... I don't recommend doing this to steel.
Aluminium is a beautiful thing.
Glad you liked it [cheeky]
Edit: Pleasure to meet you, whoever you are. :)
I didn't say I didn't like it. It really is beautiful.
Quite amazing how strong aluminum can be!
Pleasure to meet you as well. [thumbsup]
Stick around more, We're like goin' to the shrink, bar, whore house & Disney Land All at the same time [laugh]
... BUCKLE UP!
At some point.. Somewhere (internet most likely) I've seen something of this nature before. Very interesting design and concept. I can't see it being more functional than a nice blade shaped CF frame. It definitely goes to show what some engineering can get done though!

I posted the pic of the road frame before, will try to post it again when I have time.
This was all about engineering. I have ridden nothing but carbon race bikes in the past 5yrs. & Nothing...Nothing compares, Period.
If this is the one...CAD gone Prototype. But damn cool lookin' [thumbsup]

Yep.. That was the one I saw.
I like bicycles.
I think I might break it by sitting on it.

Thanks DucMouse. Can't say I'll be posting here all the time, I'm in LA, but I will try to pop in and say hi as much as I can. Besides I got to become friends with Duc-Stew before he headed back out your direction so I'm sure I'll be around a little.

That's a whole lot of carbon fiber! Bet it feels more like you're flying than riding, especially at 13lbs! [thumbsup]

If it had wings, I think it would lift off. The bike & I together weigh 159
Fresh Pants, You & I combined weigh less than most guys, we'd have to take it for a ride, go back home & back over it in a car to break it. [laugh]
That proto bike is a no go though, based on a the seatpost alone
I have been riding bmx since I learned to ride on two wheels, and still ride a bit. However, I have always wanted one of these:

A bit older, but I have something slightly similar (yet very different).

I've always loved the down hill bikes but I love going uphill almost as much so I had to settle for something more in between. I can't seem to find any pics but I have an old Gary Fisher Tassajara that I've knocked down to somewhere around 20lbs.
I'm an X-Country guy for sure. Never was much of a down hill "Bouncy bike" guy, even though I've raced it many times, it's not my cup-o-tea.
I'll see if I have some vids of my lack of downhill........... uuuuhm.........talent / someone call 911 [laugh]
My last geared XC bike before I decided, "Geared bikes suck".

:) the DH bike is fun, but is probably the least ridden of all the bikes I own.
I'd say the most ridden is my fixie conversion, then a singlespeed hardtail mtb, then a double bouncy Santa Cruz Heckler for the other times. And then... there's about 4 other bikes wanting to be ridden too. [laugh]
Not including motorcycles.
So many toys...Such little time [cheeky]
:D
Some are "rescues" though. (so I don't sound like a total addict)
A couple fancy bikes I found on another forum. Are they good? I can only assume so. If nothing else, they look pretty cool!
