Vitess video on CNN, a lot of frame flex?
https://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vi...-orig.cnn.html
Around 1:15, they have a frame mounted camera looking back at the bottom bracket/chainstays and I see a ton of flex. I've never put a camera there, but it looks like it flexes as much as our '74 Huffy tandem does.
Also, I really don't see anything special about their frames/bikes that other high-end builders aren't doing.

does having the company's website sticker on a frame bother anyone else? I hate that.

Frame didn't look especially flexy to me.
Doesn't look like anything special either. Take a normal frame and "boutique-ify" it, then charge $24k ..... m'kay
