Dysfunctional thread (anti) >>>>>

One thing disfunctional is that seat tube collar, they have it on the wrong way round and when they turn it around it'll be directly in the line of filth.

Poor design for a bike with such pretensions of muck.

it is the right way round.

Is it?

Still facing the wrong way though?

Why take studio shots when you can't be bothered to get the bar angle right?

Is it?

Yes. Slot in the clamp opposite the slot in the tube is correct.

...On CX / MTB maybe but not road.

Was there not a frame design that put the slot on the toptube side to prevent ingress?

Dropped another bollock eh Vroomen?

swoon

How about a Makino straight off the Keirin Circuit?

he answers most questions on bike design himself on the blog, why don't you ask him?

Pretty personal non? Not THAT interested. B-)

Nothing wrong with the bar angle, ends of drops are perfectly level

no, not personal. I thought you directed a question at the man, thus hinted at a possibility to get an answer.

...nope. you'll have to elaborate

chain? qr front wheel? star trek ds9-esque typeface? track bike with the name 'roadster'?

chain?

Didn't Sarah Storey use that god-awful Nexus chain CN-NX01 on her hour record bike? They had the option of the normal looking CN-NX10, so maybe there is a marginal gain there :-)

While they should be pointing towards the brake bridge

ideally :)

so what exactly were you looking for? Did @6pt get it?

I dislike that "rule". You get some real fugly setups as a result, especially on larger frames :(

Pretty much.

Oh, I thought there was gonna be like a UFO in the background.

There is some real innovation there.

MTB tyres and road q-factor is pretty great.

There's no issue with the seat clamp @TM. Water gets in (regardless of slot orientation) but no grit/dirt gets inside frames IME.
