Tried to make it super aero like a TT bike to the extent that it even has a monofork yet they stuck big wide flat handlebars on it?
The headtube thing is pretty common on TT bikes, for aero reasons.
Its on this bike for the great looks though (how would you adjust height?).
The Lefty fork has been around for ages as a sus fork. Its on here as you can remove the tyre without removing the wheel (possibly).
The point was that it is a mix of neat ideas, not that the bike itself actually works well as a stand alone bike.
I remember reading that the concept behind the bike, was buying into the clean look of the fixie, by hiding allbrake and gear cables :(
