wow! so you guys think my Kestrel cf is (too) light and possibly failure prone.... check this out. Amazing. and expensive. $6,000 frame only.

I already have a carbon fibre Jamis Xenith road frame that I ride nervously over pot holes, that would give me nightmares if I had to ride it CC... Not to mention getting rocks, twigs and small mammals caught in the open frame.

They claim these things are stronger than most other frames, but a mountain bike with a mesh frame just looks scary. :shock:

I'd be worried about the thing cheese-grading my thighs in a crash. Still though, I can't help but stare at that kitty.

So basically its a six thousand dollar frame that is impossible to clean and if one small truss brakes the whole frame is garbage?

1.8 lb frame in a 56cm size. wow.

I wanna see him bounce it off the curb at about 20mph. :mrgreen:
There's no such thing as too light, weight is easy to ADD. Early carbon bikes were definitely prone to snapping, no doubt they're better now. I have seen high-priced alloy frames break as well. I'm just saying,... Don't wreck! :wink:

Isnt that extremely unsafe to have a member of the public jumping on a round tube? Could easily fall pretty hard and get really injured. I saw one of those frames in person. Really awesome....

Hello Ifitsfreeitsforme,

Very Cool bicycle, I wan't one.
Pricey yes, but that's good technology.

Thanks for showing us.

Cheers.

Woah! I'm speechless...as someone who will likely never own a carbon frame bike, (unless maybe it was a Bowden Spacelander replica), that site is hilarious, if a bit scary. Fascinating, though. Bikes should be made out of metal, plain & simple.

Don't they make a 4 to 5" full suspension MTB so I can order one?
