And what is up with the Mechanically driven hydraulic disc brakes(so it seems to me)

 

Its mentioned in the article, those are used for compatibility with non-hydro brake levers. The bike is originally designed with etap but he couldnt use it because of compatibility reasons, the etap would have have hydro brakes so these were most likely used as a compromise. 

 

I think that bike is flippen sexy.

Same thought from me. Surely if you're going to have wire levers, why not just have mechanical discs all round...not like the brakes get used much anyway?
