Wow!!

If it goes up in value then those who do not buy one are the mugs. I will not be investing.

I can think of safer investments for £39,000.

It looks like a fixie - you can see a single cable going to the front rims, so there's probably a calliper there. I'm not sure about a belt drive fixie? I liek the frame lines, but really not sure why you'd want it as an off-road only bike.

Perhaps it has coaster (back pedal) brakes on the back wheel.

I see like so many marketing depts they're getting on board with the acronyms. It's CFP, RCF, VSAB, HTFP, AAOC, P3, MIG. The spec sheet reads like one for a cheapy BSO written by somebody who neither knows nor cares about quality bikes.

An "urban" bike with a disclaimer that it's a piece of sports equipment not for use on public roads? It's all rather silly really.

the one seat-one chainstay idea is interesting though.

That caught my eye too. Looks rather neat.

Something distinctly Escherian about that rear triangle.

Nah. They've got access to "the highest quality carbon fibre available in today’s market", customers with unlimited funds, and are unconstrained by silly UCI rules about tube profiles and such. They could have made it literally any shape they wanted but that's the best they could come up with, a regular diamond framed bike with a couple of stays missing?

This is more like it. If you're designing a 30 grand bike, go proper nuts with it. Price includes trip to Arizona for a fitting in the wind tunnel and custom painted helmet.
