Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looks like a Compact frame, with an extra bar. It also looks like it would be heavy!

Maybe they wanted to build a mixte but weren't sure about it and added the horizontal tube.

Some more tyrell frames.
I think it is more inspired by Moulton space frames than GT triple triangle (or the original Thanet Silverlight .

I've seen this bike before, they are aiming for the pre-op/post-op transexual bike riding niche.
