DXR type cranks without a spider, clip-less pedals, disc brake and mag wheels. Odd.

Post by: PHIPPSIO on July 30, 2012, 09:01 PM: its a racer, Looks are unimportant. Performance is everything. That's the measure of its success and that's what it will be judged by when a decent pro rider gives it a blast.

Post by: James Nada on July 30, 2012, 09:10 PM: It looks like a kids balance bike...

...but I'm really interested in how this rides. I hope it's a success and if it's the future of racing, why not?

I doubt a bunch of old people who are still stuck in 1983 are going to appreciate his efforts and forward thinking on this project. If he knocks out another retro he's going to get flak so he does something cutting edge and he still gets stick. I like it for what it is, a modern lightweight race bike. :)
