^^^ I am surprised that tube doesn't collapse. I would have thought it required a mandrell.
Cool gif though.
On second look, the static piece does seem to have some curved recess.

I saw that at the show. Still unsure if it's JA or porn.

Thanks, Now it makes more sense, but i am still trying to figure out how the top bearing race seats inside the head tube. There must be some sort of ring welded to the inside of te head tube for it seat.
Makes for a very clean design, particularly if you ran some sort of cap to cover the internals.

I don't know, elevated stays on a track bike (pursuit bike?). Track bikes benefit from stiff frame particularly at the bottom bracket. Cool way to get a a belt on there though.
I also don't care for the wheels, a disc at the rear would have been more interesting and would have accented the e-stay.
