The monster track bike is a repost but well worth looking at again.

What's the reason for the holes in the bottom bracket mount?

I can appreciate the fact that last one is a Cinelli, which is usually worth quite a bit, but IMO that bike is a cycling abomination ::thumbs down::

I appreciate pushing boundaries even when it doesn't always work. It's part of the process that got us where we are today and where we will be tomorrow.

The idea is it's better to have moisture be able to exit (as a bb shell will never be water-resistant) then to have water collect in a sealed shell. If water enters and quickly exits, no big deal. Rust occurs when it just sits inside for a time.
I drill holes on the bottom of my bb shells. Alot of mechanics would recommend it.
