Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

though it's "local ebay", but it's still an auction site:

current offer is approx. 105 pounds. ;)

Who keeps thinking these soft ride type bikes are a good idea?

Triathlengers. Who are you to say they are wrong? UCI forces everybody onto diamond frames, but not for good reasons.

What is the benefit of getting rid of the seat tube? wouldn't you loose loads of stiffness? How much of a aero benefit would it give?

Those are things you can only measure in the lab. That bike may or may not be faster than a P5 (or Shiv, or IA, according to your personal prejudice), but you can't tell just by looking at one picture of it on the internet.

who cares, this thread is dedicated to things that look shit on the internet.

He asked about whether it was a good idea. I wasn't arguing that it doesn't look like a turd

if it looks like a turd, it's not a good idea.

except for these, they are excellent.

Is there actually any published data that compares the aeros of non-traditional frame shapes (soft ride/zipp 2001/lotus/hotta etc) to modern 'conventional' frames either UCI legal (Speed Concept/P5/Shiv) or non UCI (5:1 P5/Shiv Tri)?

None that I've seen, and it starts to get meaningless pretty quickly if the numbers are close, because the rank order might change if you put a different front wheel or rider on the same frames, or changed your idea about the distribution of yaw angles to be encountered.

Reminds me of something horrific but can't put my finger on it

given the drop out , is this the John Merrick of pistas?
