Waay too much trail. They may know materials, but with that front end geo I bet it would handle like a truck.

It doesn't look like a functional prototype. I don't see a real headset and the fork isn't turned in any of the photos.

miraculous qualities + we have no intentions of marketing it = it doesn't work.

Reminds me a lot of the literally short lived Shiba-Western seat post and saddle rails marketed in the mid-1970s and made from the miracle plastic, Lexan.

Has anyone actually seen a photo of the bike because this one is digitally created and not a real bike.
