Not pretty, imo, but I suppose if it is expensive enough, somebody will buy it.

Maybe if you crash it the frame will look normal afterwards.

years ago manufacturers like Somec and Colnago and so forth also had twisted tubes. Not as radical as these but alot hotter looking.

Not pretty, I agree. Give me symmetry any day.

Dig the logo on the inside of those crankarms....

 

 

[gummibear]

I wonder if it makes the frame stiffer?

I think it's on all Sram (read sram, nor es-ram or shram) Red cranks.

Is this to create laminar air flow or something?? Almost like creating a spiral in your inlet manifold on a cyclinder head to promote a better induction. Hmmm, or maybe not.. (i need my bed)Veloce2009-04-06 12:13:23

Ugly bike, dont see that it can be stronger than a conventional carbon strate tube bike

[EigerSA]

Carbon strength really comes from the direction of the fibers in relation to the stress points as well as the resin used, the amount of layers ect... but I can't see how the 'twist' would add anything but 'eye-candy'.
