oadamy, brilliant.
What bars are those? I don't think I've ever seen that deep of a drop on bullhorns--unless the angle is really messing with me.
I love the frame, but the whole thing is awfully close to jackass; it looks like even the Italian tarck bike market can be Americanised (meaning: this bike is meant to be fashionable and cheap to manufacture). Yea yea...I'm one of those blame it all on Americuh guys. But these guys obviously must've seen Swobo et al before coming up with this idea.

I really doubt they're spec'ing this with Nitto anything. I bet it's some new OEM bar, probably the same thing that Soma is selling.

Rly? I've been pretty happy with the axles in them.

LOL at the dude who thinks that you count from the left for decimal places while placing breaks in numbers.

No, no, no. Brake lever on the seatpost, brake on the rear wheel (maybe on the wrong side of the seat stays).

Oh, and:
1. move to italy.
2. build crappy hi-ten frames.
3. sell on ebay as "ZOMG, Italian tarck frame!"
4. retire early.
