I have never ridden or even seen one of these but the concept has got me thinking what if...
What if there is a whistling wind noise through those tubes when giving full gas?
What if (when) it got all covered in road spooge? I would just power-wash the thing to clean the matrix otherwise a tedious job...regardless, what a pain.
So disappointing weight but perhaps this concept would provide unique riding qualities like enhanced vibration dampening...Idunno
The idea has been around for a few years now.

Whistling and not particularly light or not, that's one ugly bike.

A member here has chronicled in great detail a Renovo build. Certainly a beautiful frame.
Read all about it here.

I thought that it looked quite interesting ... definitely not hideous
I haven't seen any good comments so far, about this bike ... has anybody here actually ridden this bike
I wonder why they haven't used this design in the tail stays ...
I rode it at interbike 2009 and I loved it. Im not sure if they are even around anymore though?
