This appears to be my only option for a fast, safe bike:

According to Grant, it comes with disc brakes:

I'm ordering today and waiting the 6-9 months because my safety is important.

Good! It's about time you became cool.

The extra down tube makes it 50% safer than your regular bike.


Given that the normal bicycle frame is comprised of 7 tubes wouldn't
adding one more make the formula something like 8/7, or only 14%
stronger :-?

To a framebuilder, a complete boxed tube set is eleven tubes.


Bicycle:
Top, Seat, down, seat (2), chain (2), fork legs(2), steerer, head :-)

But when one brags about the super light "frame" that they just
finished they do not include the fork :-)

The light weight "audax" type bike I built (from tubes) has a 1700 gm.
frame :-) and a 680 gm fork :-(

I brag occasionally about the frame, although it certainly isn't the
lightest possible and ignore the forks :-)
