    Sorry guys, back to the drawing board on this one. It's the funky arch in the seat tube. Can't warm to that on any road bike.

    I like it. ^

    If it didn't have that half n half paint on the seat post the dodgy seat tube wouldn't look so bad I reckon.

    No the worst thing I've seen though. Bar tape is a bit marmite.

    I most certainly do remember rotten.com. I tried very hard to forget, and had nearly succeeded until I saw your post.

    April fools joke aside, thats the best looking folding bike Ive ever seen anyway if they toned it down a bit, been a lot of images of beauty in this thread for the last week or so tbh.

    It's very pricey, but if you have to do lots of travel for work, as I do, something like that would be a godsend, easy to take anywhere with you and gives a decent enough road bike approximation to get good training in no matter where your job takes you.

    I investigateed them last year as a travel bike. Instead I found a S&S machine frame.

    I thought it was an April Fools joke, never knew they made folding roadbikes:

    Thats a very rare bike. Its BB which was positioned for climbers to get a better Knee over pedal position to maximise power. I actually like the paintjob. BB is a bit strange alright though.

    That saddle position is UCI illegal though, under current rules.

    When were those rules introduced? The bike is around 2001-02. Pantani rode one

    No, it's very very slightly curved.

    Before then, apparently...

    The bike frame is legal - just needs the saddle moving back a couple of cm and the whole thing will be
