Wow. that's possibly one of the stupidest frame geometries ever. It might even be worse than the SE draft.
whoever designed those things should be shot.

3 sizes.
S/M/L.
Constant 73 degree STA over all sizes
HTA goes 70->71->73! WTF kind of road bike has a <72 degree HTA? even cross/touring bikes aren't that slack. No mention of varying the fork rake by size, but methinks that these morons wouldn't have thought of that. Which means that a Small is going to handle like a pig.
TT length on the small is 53.5, but only goes up to 56.6 on the L
but the ST length goes from 57-62.6cm.
Geez

Oh, and it's straight gauge steel (bleh - so heavy)

and there are no North American distributors

Hip decal placement, though.
