This bike was yet another journey into the creative pain cave. It was not something I had wanted to do. It was something I had to do. The war must be fought and we need the best tools. This is the magic bullet that goes around corners. Now, it’s inspiring further exploration in design.

Also that has to be the most pointless seattube bend I've ever seen

Of course, you’re saying to yourself, “I’ve seen this before…”. But you haven’t. Maybe you’d be thinking of the Syncros Hixon IC bar stem concept. You’d be wrong though. This bar, while novel in construction and superficially similar to mine, is not at all the same. It is merely a traditional bar and a traditional stem made one. The bend of the bar places the grips in the exact same position to traditional setups but with the drawback in lack of adjustability. The Sycros part was designed to cut weight and nothing more. My bar completely re-positions the grip relative to the steerer by re-imagining where the axii could be.

I mean, this is just silly right? Surely a bit of backsweep (like, 4° is enough to bring your grips back 20mm) achieves the same thing, in the same way that L-shaped cranks work exactly like normal cranks except with more flex and weight.

When he was in the creative pain cave, was that because it was really hard to come up with a bit of text explaining why he built something so weird?

I can't figure out which Peter Verdone likes more, Batman or the smell of his own shite.
