May well just be a one-off concept piece. Interesting top-tube design. _________________ 2013 CAAD 10 105 My wallet gets more weight-weenie by the day.

If you look at an F1 team and say build a bike, must use 700C wheels, must allow for standard drivetrain, make it aero and stiff....go! They are going to come up with some interesting ideas.

Like the McLaren Venge? I have to say, Caterham did a muuuuuuch better job making a cool bike (rather than just a top-of-the-line aero bike) than that. And let's not forget the crazy tech behind the Aston Martin One-77 bike and the super sexy Lamborghini BMC.
