So here is the rest


This is the rest of the bike. It's a Delta 7 road bike, the same company that makes the similar IsoTruss mt bikes. It's pretty darn light, like 14.5 pounds. It's also stiff and rides smooth. But at some point your going to have to look down at the damn thing. Pluss it's top tube is pretty wide and it doesn't feel so great if you bonk your knee on it. But for most people that's probalbly not much of a big deal. I gave it a pretty short test ride around town, but I didn't really get to go for a real ride on it. My friend Mark rode it in food park on Saturday morning. He said he thought it was stiff enough to race on, but still really comfortable. But he made a point to say it wasn’t anything that was especially more comfortable than any other high end comfort oriented performance carbon frame that he had ridden.

...an aluminum bottle cage on that bike ???...really ???...

...oh ya..."that bike"...it IS unique but i wouldn't call it "pretty"...

...& while i understand the working 'iso' concept, i just think it would be easy to ding up one of those "tubes" & thus create a stress riser...

...& clean ???...need i even go there ???...
