This project was borne from the desire to experiment with the traditional diamond frame of essentially every bicycle made, not merely bending the tubes or having the tube shapes be not-round, but incorporating design aesthetics not native to the bicycle industry. Why don't we take more of an advantage of the materials and the methods for production we possess in manufacturing? We can stamp steel, we can lay up carbon fiber, and we can mill...anything. So let's make any shape? Not the same shape with new materials, but a new, viable, exciting shape that bridges industries. There's nothing saying we can't!
