No price tag.... I'm figuring it'll run you at least $6000, probably more. Pass.

Though if they can get the weight that low with a mostly steel frame, that's kind of impressive.

The quintessential picture of Homer Simpson drooling over donuts and going "Mmmmm....donuts...." comes to mind here.

With a rack or maybe a seatpost rack this bike would be perfect for daylong rides from Toronto down into the Niagara area and back. I'd be interested but my current situation (ie. the wife) doesn't allow me to simply buy one.

"Weighing in around 16.5 pounds (depending on components)...is available in different levels of stiffness"

I also just realized that I could use some of those fancy lightning cranks too if I wanted because the front freewheel on my bike is actually in the crank spider, not the bottom bracket (lightning cranks are spiderless). So they couldn't win even if they went single speed like mine.

Then when you consider the rotating weight...
