Sans Seat Tube (via www.selectism.com)

Earlier I posted about dimpling the seat tube to get a slightly narrower wheelbase, but I suppose getting rid of the seat tube altogether might be an even better move.

On a totally different note, what the hell is this bike built for? It’s got a trackish setup with aerobars, aerospokes, and an aggressive wheelbase but it’s also got gears and brakes.

I’m pretty sure that’s a triathlon bike, which is their own little world of bike design choices. For example, they’re all about aerobars and uncomfortable seats to save weight, but they’ll put two water bottles hanging off the seat post.
