I thought about a carbon dj/park bike for about three seconds, then I thought about the first time you bailed on a trick and watched your very un-resiliant carbon bike slamming into the coping or plummeting into the pit of a double. A freestyle bike should be able to handle it when you bail, and carbon just doesn't do that.

Another issue with that non adjustable post. I've bailed more than few times and on quite a few occasions its been hard enough to twist the seatpost. Wouldn't be too happy to see my carbon frame shear at the seattube.

Makes more sense as a race frame, this clearly isn't designed to race though. I'm sure there will be fans but I doubt there'll be enough to keep this going for more than a few years

Even if the frame is super mega strong, this frame is still confusing as ****. Fixed railed seatpost and that assy-looking geo, not to mention a massive god damn carbon price tag means this thing will not be getting purchased by the frame-killer set. So why make it five pounds heavy?

I literally cannot think of a single reason to buy this over a Stout for frame features/geo, a Yeti for overpriced quasi-boutique appeal, a Dartmoor for weight, or a P.3 for all of the above. Colour me confuzzled.

"less than 5 lbs." BFD! I thought carbon was supposed to be light?
My old STP was less than 5 lbs.
My custom STEEL 24" frame was 4.15 lbs.
