why have the seat tube

Submitted by A-ko on 09/21/2011.

why have the seat tube curved that far in while simultaneously having the seatstay bridge so far down that you cant even slam the rear wheel in the track end to take advantage of it?

seems totally pointless and more of a form-over-function design. like having a frame designed for full suspension because it looks cool, and then putting a rigid strut in place of a rear shock.

cool bike and beautiful build quality, but sometimes stuff like that makes you wonder how much thought was actually put into the design...

slam that rear wheel forward, what's the point of having a curved seat tube if you keep your wheel way back there. half link that shit!

Submitted by Cool Steel on 11/12/2008.

That's a beautiful frame (just that the front tire has unnecessarily much clearance ...)

NAHBS

Submitted by Doiminic on 01/25/2009.

Congrats. Well deserved first prizes. THis is truly something special an inspiration to us all. Everything is designed for a reason I am curious as to why with the curved downtube that the rear triangle is not designed to allow the rear wheel hug the downtube?

I may be wrong, as I am not

Submitted by kumotaki on 06/30/2010.

I may be wrong, as I am not a track bike specialist, but maybe the frame is designed to be used with smaller diameter wheels, like 650c (quite common on TT bikes). If you use 700c rims, you may have some clearance issues around the rear triangle. The tight clearance on the front wheel seems to confirm that as well. But again, that's just a guess...
Awesome bike anyway!
