and i suppose that one might be able to make an aerodynamic argument that it reduces drag. but i really don't know. |
i'm sure it stiffens up that area...BB and the headtube area...
|
it will reduce drag but only marginally and if there's any wind i'm sure it makes a noticable difference.
looks badass though. |
Isn't this that POS polish bike that pops up now and then?
If so the concensus was the gussets are purely decorative. The BB one is in the wrong orientation to provide and meaningfully stiffness and the HT gusset would only be useful if this was being ridden off road into large things. The guy who builds them didn't seem to have much experience as a bike designer also. |

and why are both bikes sporting threadless stem adapters? …one would think nagasawa has the ability to make a threadless fork. |
Looks like an older wheelset, so maybe they are Hoshi bladed spokes. I recently built up a wheelset with Sapim CX-Ray Aero Bladed spokes if you are looking for a spoke that is currently in production.
