Mash / Cinelli Vigorelli

tapered headtube is big in dh, and no wonders why it has been popular.

but we are talking about a street frame, with a 'front brake friendly' interface, of sizing that is being aimed clearly at kids - really can't see anything 1 1/8 not being strong enough.

It's a USP. Nobody except dosnoventa has bothered with tapered head tubes on a track frame, even though they've been wide spread on road bikes for a while now. This puts them at a significant advantage in the market (especially considering their seemingly better reputation then dosnoventa) as people are always going to want the latest technology whether or not it will make any measurable difference for them in use, and this makes them one of only two options on the market that offer this. Also it seems like they're making an effort to turn it in to a more serious track frame with this model, changing geometry to fit UCI regs, ditching the forward sloping top tube and adding a tapered head tube.

I'd quite like one, but not with that paint job.
