I think it would of been better if that cable was covered by a downtube because if you case a jump with a front wheel you are going to snap that little white part on the top tube so...not that smart...

it's not a DJ frame, it's for XC, it's a great idea I think.

Sketchy? Did you not read the part in the article about riders using this bike in competitive races? Any competitive race is rough on a bike, and after all that down tube is stainless steel, not aluminum, and the down tub doesn't really get that much force applied to it compared to the chain stay, seat stay and seat tube. This bike is all about the advanced engineering of our sport, and that kind of stuff is always met with "sketchy" at first.

this design has been around since the 80's. It was a slingshot bmx frame at first. It also worked.

It's an XC 29er guys. It is designed for rigid forks. It's to take a bit of the bump out of the trail and keep rollin. It's pretty retro.

You guys know what retro is?
