¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm a function-over-form sort of guy - actually I'm more like a form-is-irrelevant sort of guy - others may disagree. It's ugly admittedly

@Jaap -

@dear_susan_bicycles it’s the olsenbicycles pinion rocker system- it means I can use it for chain/belt tension, as well as swapping it out for a pinion.eu gearbox. It can also be used to change reach or B.B. drop for different cockpit/wheel/tyre set ups...

But it's exactly the opposite of that. The raised chain stay is the only functional thing about it. It's built purely for form, just with bad taste, see all colour matched anodising, looks like cable to hydro converter, stupid fork rather than conventional suspension, space for one bottle inside the main triangle.
Just a shit bike made probably by some radavist wannabe in america. probably.

Edit: Dear Susan, that explains it

Yeah, I don't disagree that it's got some weird choices, I just meant the chainstays and BB specifically are functional

colour matched anodising

My confession, I hate colour ano. It never looks good to me. Even black.
