TT and DT reinforcements? This market's saturated, and this bike doesn't really bring anything new to the table.

Any frameset over 4-4.5lbs is pretty heavy. That frame will easily break that scale.

It's designed by a bmx company, most likely with trick riding in mind.
obviously they're thinking about strength before weight.
People probably won't go changing gearing that much, so the short track ends are reasonable.
I think it looks great. i want one.
