Somewhat of an optical illusion, but those wheels look non circular after looking at that frame.

It was manufactured that way!? I just figured that was what Wimothy did to a frame when putting out the massive power necessary to catch cheaters.....

Is this what happens when you leave carbon fiber in the back of your car too long? I knew it just wasn't the price tag that kept me away. Will this guy have to pay blockbuster $14.99 for the replacement fee?

Looks like the frame partially melted under the hot sun.

What's the point? Is there a technical reason for this?

like a Salvador Dali bike....

Where would you want to swim ?

I like that rear seat stay.

I see De Rosa has pioneered the new candle wax frame. Very impressive and kinda trippy, man.

Now *that's* funny. Technical reason...bike frames...ROTFLMAO...must...stop...

I believe it comes a special integrated hookah so you can smoke out while riding.

LOL!

Are they making frames out of rubber now?


There is no excuse for that. I hope somebody got fired because of it.

This forum is full of hypocrites. Everyone says, it doesn't matter what bike you ride, it's all about how it fits. Well this guy felt too stretched out so he went ahead and hammered some bends into his top tube to shorten it up a little bit. His position looks much better, you should see the before and after photos...

That looks god-awful-ugly. It doesn't even look like you can easily get a water bottle into the cage due to the design of the downtube. Also, the seatstays look like they molded on a Scott CR-1 fork onto the bike. Really really ugly.

ROTFLMAO!

From the R & A website:

"DeRosa Tango $2700.00
1780g Frame and Fork (54cm) - Carbon Monocoque Aero Frame
A revolutionary design and hi-tech contents, it is formed of various monocoque elements - main triangle, oblique and horizontal tubes in the rear end - which form a very reactive and comfortable structure. An aerodynamic style that cannot be beaten, with its slope geometry virtually invisible to the human eye with a new solution for passing the cables inside the tubes and housing the rear bake between the two sloping jackets."

An aero design that can't be beaten. That's an interesting way of describing it. Me, I'd buy one just to be different.

Can we all agree that the Campy Volvo XC behind it is pretty sweet? Record10Carbon should have picked that up instead of his new Audi.

The seat is too high.

That bike must be so fast... Everyone must run out and buy one... This is the next generation...



Don't you see it people!!!! They have built it for a reason and that reason is to be fast... The curvatures, confuse the wind, so the the drag is much less then straight frame materials... You can't see it in this picture but the whole thing is dimpled also...

I love it!! My wife says it "Fcute". That stands for F'kn Cute!!

You guys aren't getting his strategy. As people are staring at his bike going "wtf?", he's blowing by them all. Its a distraction technique...kj

It looks like it has already been beaten.

Wow, the things you can do with carbon (yawn).

I'm waiting for a carbon bike with steel seat stays for that familiar steel ride.

Now that is funny! Sad thing is, we'll probably see it one day.

The spare wheel next to the bike looks mysteriously like the counterpart to the front spare Normann took in Hawaii!
