the bends are some high tech japanese frame building art that turn a cat 4 wannabe into a god of the bike... look for me on a future cover of velonews...
the guy responded to a query about the frame..
The stays---both seat & chain---have bends in them that appear to be part of the design---not unlike a number of contemporary framesets on the market toda. I've checked the frame alignment w a Park frame alignment tool & it checks out fine---perhaps a 1 mm discrepancy max. I've ridden the bike and it tracks perfectly, hands off.
