Looks like one of those beam bikes that all the boomers are fond of. Did they post any data?

Wow, cool bike! Looks like the love child of a Zipp 2001 and a Shiv Tri. To hell with the UCI!

Love it.
Can't wait to see it in action.

Dzxc- it says data will be coming soon. Can't wait to see how fast it is.

Is this the "It's coming" product?

Nice :) Can't wait for a head-to-head with other uber-bikes... Good luck to him and his brand.

I am in the dark, what are the advantages of a beam bike?
Re: DIMOND BIKES [argon]

Lower drag from not having a seat tube, and a more comfortable ride with a small amount of suspension. They were big in the 90's, but were banned by the UCI, and (I hope) are poised to make a recovery as more UCI illegal designs become popular.

Would be even better with the newer Cervelo fork on the front.

It's nice...and pricey. Just saw it at expo and was quoted about $5,800 for fram/fork set. Maybe I didn't hear correctly, though.

Why on earth would someone want that?
Re: DIMOND BIKES [rvt210]
[ In reply to ]
For $5,800, you'd think they could get a fork that matched the frame(?). Even the inexpensive open mould bikes do that!
Re: DIMOND BIKES [lmar77]

I'm really surprised to see everyone liking it. I think the Falco bike blows it away. This one just looks strange to me. As if you took bunch of stuff or whatever you could find in your garage and put them together. Case in point, none matching paint/finish fork.
Re: DIMOND BIKES [rayray]
[ In reply to ]
Yeah if you are after looks and not engineering, the Falco is better.
