SaltCycle: 2.75 Pound Bike Frame Technology from BYU Laboratory

  • Zak · 2 years ago
    2.75 lbs until you ride through some mud, then it's an $7k 5 lb frame! Neat tech and all, but ugly and stupid expensive. I'm sure we'll see tons of them rolling the park city trails in the spring.

    Also there are a lot of other carbon frames that weigh about that much, so it's really no big deal. Did you read this?

    good link to the article on fatcyclist. i really enjoyed it. i really am out of the loop when it comes to all the latest weight of bicycles and associated components. mostly ride, for ridings sake on a bicycle.


    i actually like the web-like design for some reason.... something different in the realm of bland same frames, though i am more of the neopunk bicyclist myself.

    Clearly these people have never had the pleasure of riding a 35 pound Dutch bike.
