Doesn't make sense aerodynamically to have that dropped top tube. The air is flowing horizontally at the front, would work better if the stem top tube were parallel to the ground. Having it tilt up like that just exposes more area to the wind... Just my 2c.....

Read up on the geometry and creation of this frame in comparison to "normal" more traditional geometry frames... then you'll understand.
