I would say as cyclists, we are more interested in materials vs. the design of entire bike. :?:

I believe the original post was meant as a joke.

Since the shape of bikes used in UCI races is restricted to (more or less) the tubed diamant shape, I think we will not see these bikes in races for the next couple of years! :D

My friends made those:

Very nice and fast bikes. Too fast? UCI banned them after first pro-team ordered them...just few got delivered to them.

I know where rest production is.... :wink:

And those boys have given me very nice tehnologal support for building my own bikes.

Looks really nice! do you remember the Giant MCR? Or the bikes used by Graeme Obree, to use in the TdF prologue and his world hourrecord?

Yep. But these are more practical and not prototypes...they feel like Trek OCLV.....I would like to build one to TT-bike!

Didn't Obree make his first racing bike out of a washing machine or something like that? That guy was amazing.
