It probably planes well; very desirable. I'm sure the Sunlite fork only adds to the ride quality.

Are you serious? What a preposterous marketing ploy. The only benefit touted on their website is vertical compliance. There are plenty of ways to make a rider more comfortable and reduce road vibration without looking like an abomination. As if most roadies are riding very rough roads anyway... Roundtail bikes are most certainly jackass.

I'm posting in the jacka** thread in BFSS/FG, so... no? 
Their marketing may be bs, but I don't think the bike itself is jacka** just because it has an unusually shaped frame.

Your cog is slipping.
Perhaps not, but anyone falling for the said "bs marketing" is undoubtedly a jackass.

Oh you mean this bike? That is my best friends bike. That picture up there is when it was only a show bike though, this is after riding it across the country (wheels were really for show.)

As for the bs: she would tell you after breaking her pelvis in a cycling accident this bike is more comfortable than her traditional bike on long rides.
