onetinsloth: i reckon Look does something similar with their track frames, with a pointy leading edge on the head tube. i believe theirs even turns with the handlebars/wheel, thanks to that funky headset/fork design they've got going.

and i don't think one necessarily would have to weld extra metal to the head tube to shape it like that. i dont see why that couldn't be made in the same way the rest of the tubes are.

oh well. doesnt matter. my comment was more directed towards the "it's not lugged, skinny tubed steel, so it's ugly" type of vibe i was feeling. whether or not it really is more aerodynamic means **** all to me, really.
