Carbon & Kevlar Truss Frame

Suitably amended.

I think the only people for whom this bike would appeal are those who use cheese graters for a wholly inappropriate purpose.

Looks like the mesh I had inserted to save wearing a truss....

I've seen it before, or something almost identical. The main problem is that 1.8lb of frame can hold about 20.8lb of mud

Well I think it looks cool.

And it's good people are not frightened to try new ideas in constructing frames.

I like that.

A little off the bank balance to save dieting.

If you changed the shapes of the holes you could tune it.

Strongest it its weight class, apparently. Don't know what it's competing against, mind.
