I was gonna say, the frame just looks a little too outlandish, totally ignoring the wheels and headset.

Once in a while a bike comes along trying to reinvent the triangle but none are particularly good, often worse than tried and true. Superstrata Classic is a perfect example. Making a 2 triangle frame and adding just a hair of compliance around less-critical spots seems to be the winning formula

Compliance but this is a very very extreme example - you’d hit a bump and the top tube would flex, kinda like a diving board, and smooth out the harshness. I’m not even sure this bike exists but that would be the practical purpose of such a design, but most manufacturers tend to go after the seat stays (Salsa Warbird, Bianchi with Counterveil, Moots Routt YBB) or decouple the seat tube from the top tube and allow it to flex due to seat tube angle (Trek Isospeed). Carbon’s kinda fickle and engineers are constantly trying to figure out how to finesse it into feeling less jarring and rigid

I use noscript and ads don’t load unless I whitelist them. Videos won’t autoplay unless I whitelist them. I am the internet’s bouncer

That thing is one bathroom away from becoming a 240,000 dollar tiny house

Hold up, is that a shorty Vitamix canister? Easily worth 10

You don’t need to be superman to rob a bank tho

Amazon UI is so bad if you type ‘subs’ in the product search it auto-suggests ‘subscriptions on my account’ and a dozen ‘subscribe and save’ variations because people wind up using the product search trying to find that stuff.

Might be the people that play only one game. I used to play WoW and then Diablo III exclusively like it was a full time job, and wound up in social bubbles with people who were equally invested. I never spent money on cosmetics or in-game items or anything but at that point it’d be pretty easy to rationalize since it’s something someone is spending 20-80 hours a week playing.

Back in WoW we used to sell one slot on our Algalon raid (hardmode only raid boss) and pay for our Ventrilo and website with that lol
