Apparently this is a site from FSA.
Anyone have any idea what it is all about? Is FSA finally announcing a complete groupset?
Anyone bored enough at work to figure out what it all means?

I do believe they are working on a complete group and as they have everything else, that seems like it would close the loop.
btw, those 1' intervals should be fun in these 30mph winds, huh?

The pictures on the site do sort of look like a frame. There are also a few boxes with '-5', '-4' and other -ints. The site kind of looks like some viral site that wants the users to dig deeper and figure stuff out.

My patience for things overly cryptic keeps diminishing as I get older. If you have a product give us a teaser but no need for hours of internet research to figure out there's a new gizmo comparable to other gizmos out there already.

There was talk of a new group from FSA at the Taipei show (AGAIN this year...)
I didn't even bother walking across the isle to their booth to look...

In those pictures I see no evidence of a complete group.
I know FSA is not doing something with belt drive mountain bike. I see a rubber belt and notched teeth.

and the site is very poorly done. You'd think with that much time they could have put together something, oh, I don't know... better? Something that doesn't look like it's from The Internets c.2000?
