They're not holes. They're clear plastic stickers designed to keep the
shift cables from rubbing the headtube. They *look* like holes, but that's an optical illusion. |

That are patches of plastic to protect the frame from cable scratches. If they used that sticker stuff on the entire frame, presumably you wouldn't be able to see it; great for a ninjacycle, but not too useful if you have trouble remembering where you parked. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

If you go here and select "enlarge in flo red" you can see them. I don't know what purpose they serve, if any. May just be for looks. http://tinyurl.com/aoskt See the monster thread from a couple of months ago about the Roubaix, Zertz, and marketing folks. SYJ |
