Remember this? I thought it was never going to see the light of day, but CBO have them in stock!

Each Delta 7 Arantix frame has over 1,672 feet of carbon fiber (thats over a quarter mile of material) and takes over 300 hours to build. The resulting pyramidal structure of the frame makes it not only rugged but light -a measly 2.75 pounds.

That's 1.25kg in the modern world. Not super light, but it sure looks cool. Imagine trying to clean in all those gaps though?! Sticking out tongue

FWIW, think I'd rather have an Ibis Tranny Eye-wink

Too pricey as a bike frame,

however not a bad price for a piece of Modern Art!

I reckon it looks like someone has welded together several collapsible steering columns.....

Seems more like a marketing exercise to show off fancy production skills than coming up with a product that's actually useful.

Looks like a very effective skin grater.

I think you are right Browny, I think it was an attempt to show what could be acheived with this type of carbon construction.If you went fast enough would it whistle in the wind...?If it was on your bike rack on the car you could see your number plate...! the bonuses are plenty...
