I love lug work but I really like the simplicity of this frame, the aesthetic detailing of the frame is now in the geometry, no ugly welding joints, pure, clean, simple. Adolf Loos - "Ornamentation is crime"
This is a bike designed by someone who doesn't understand the design of bikes. This is one of my main annoyances with concepts like this, they come from what sounds like a 'great idea', but the designer hasn't taken the time to do the proper research into the area they're designing for, and the end result is just plain stupid to anyone who knows anything about bikes. Always ends up with unridable geometry, or removing all adjustability for a 'cleaner' look.
100% aesthetics 0% usability does not make good design.
