What kind of frame is this? It is rather interesting looking.

That's carbon string with epoxy on it. Just between us that's a pretty
stupid idea.

Yes, I promise not to tell anyone else.

My good friend Tom is right: it is a pretty stupid idea. The
aerodynamics are so ridiculous they're ridonkulous, and that frame
weighs _more_ than the really light stuff like Scotts and even the
heavier Cervelo, I think.

Finally, would you want to clean it?

It's a Delta 7. It's a carbon truss design, seen he

Here's another interesting, stringy design:

Dumbass Fred Cousineau -

They weigh more?!

They're probably more expensive too, right?

I'll bet that in our lifetime, we'll see some sort of iso-truss tubing being
viable for bikes, but the concept's gotta be a lot lighter, not heavier, in
order to compensate for the aerodynamic disadvantages.

One area where the concept should perhaps should be applied today is in the
rear derailleur design, but once again, it's gotta be lighter.

thanks,

Fred. presented by Gringioni.

ps. p0WN THE p0DIUM!

This looks like something they did just because they could. I wonder how
long it would take me to break one?
