For those who havent seen it - the seat stays connect to the top tub instead of the seat tube and are designed to flex a little.
That and they seem to have a bit taller of a headtube than most race bikes. All and all look like a neat concept if you have $3-5k to drop on a bike (which I don't). But yeah, disks and maybe slight ride smoothing and a taller head tube, sounds like something made to ride all day on.
