Re: REAP bikes. New beam bike! [Liaman]



It's always good to see innovation in the bike world--one of the few "industries" where the barriers to entry have yet to be raised to oligarchy levels.
And it looks like the UCI is softening it's heavy-handed design oversight since the Graeme Obree days. It all makes for more choices!

As for the beam bike category, tests show the aerodynamics of the entrants (Dimond, Falco, TitanFlex) to be on par with the current superbikes from TREK, Specialized, Giant, Scott, Felt, etc. Suspension, or lack thereof, has been a controversial element. When I was 25 I echoed the sentiments of TH3_FRB and BryanD: "I don't care about suspension...I just want to go fast."

Twenty years later, one's outlook/physiology changes. The resiliency of youth gives way to reality of a "maturing" engine. It turns out that a lot of people end up faster when they can ride more comfortably in a good aero position. I'm happy that TitanFlex affords everyone that choice--comfortable and adjustable without sacrificing weight, aerodynamics or a big hit to their wallet.
