back of the hand no , no , no zed i have the same desire to hammer a nail through that kind of stuff as i do the folded orange frames ( even though they are bloody good ) top fuel dragsters dont follow technical advancements and they are still the fastest accelerating things on the land double diamond bmx for me all the way if i saw someone on that shit ill push em over and kick dirt in their faces whats going to happen ! someone on an already iffy looking "traditional" bike will line up against that crap with its -1/2lb in weight or whatver itl be and then lose , put it down to the frame and not their crap ride on a particular day in a particular race , all of a sudden all the top racers have monocock-a-doodle-dos and then the trickle effect starts im already sick of ugly mtbs and road bikes , bmx is barely hanging onto the "tube" i had to put the glass of wine down to type this one
FFS, next thing you know people will be eating bread with garlic on it and turning up to meets in.....................motorised vehicles Whats next, spd pedals and tight jeans
if its as strong, but a lot lighter and more manouverable then its good in my book...its an olympic sport now boys and girls....this is definately the way forward..look at indoor cycling..space age carbon fibre all the way....wont be getting one, but i see its point and purpose...nice to look at? i think it is..does it have form and more importantly, funtion, most defrinately...would look lush in black carbon with some nice black carbon bombshells.
Innovation for the sake of innovation. I guess GT consider it good marketing to stand out from the crowd.But there are lots of better ways to achieve a very light but very strong frame without resorting to something that looks like that.I've no idea how much that GT thing weighs, but the titanium frames that my team ride (the Technique model) weigh about 3.9lbs. I think my Ti cruiser frame weighs 4.1lbs.
