I did not know...
...but could have guessed from the 'ends. And tiny size.

Shorter chainstays = stiffer.

The cantilevered bottom bracket arrangement is deliberate but not so sure about the huge dent in the chain stay. Can not figure out what either is for.

But the chain stays support the bottom bracket. That is why the builder has had to add web plates either side, to reduce flex.

I agree. Doesnt look like it would work. But I still think the design is intended to reduce chainstay length.
(The dent is simply a crimp for chainring clearance)

looks like its at the wrong angle but could just be the photo

maybe it was something to do the downtube angle...
it seams that the seatube, the toptube and downtube have all the same size (i never saw that before).maybe the headtube angle made the front wheel touch the downtube (i don't know)
A downtube like this "solve" that problem...but maybe it's all in my head :D lol!

Doesnt really look right, does it.
Mybe its for holding paperclips, like the little dent in our photocopier.

funny how all other frame builders managed to stick to the "normal" geo and still preserve the stifness. this thing is just bizarre.
