Thoughts on that TT/SS/ST cluster?
My initial reaction is that it’s certainly interesting. I’d like to see some video of how it actually moves and flexes. I absolutely don’t want to slam anyone for trying something new, but I have my doubts about how it’ll hold up in the long run.
Yeah, I’m sceptical too over the logevity of that set up. I suspect stress cracks at the plate level after a while. The other issue is while using the seat tube bending for the spring, which is fine, they are also bending the dropper post, if it does flex with that load. May not be an issue but my gut engineering says no. Will be interesting to see if it lasts or not.
the ST TT SS junction actually looks stiffer to me 
Me too. 
My best guess is their intent is to allow the BB to move vertically, with the plate bending to allow the vertical movement of the seat tube?
I can’t imagine you would get any significant bending out of a seat tube with a full dropper.
I’m having a bit of trouble visualising in my mind how the movement is supposed to happen.
The only way I can see movement happening is the seat tube flexing, similar to how the Domane operates.
Very cool looking bike overall. Looks like they added a guillotine for the seat tube to fall into… Neat idea, but as a big dude I wouldn’t want to be the beta tester. Cute little stubby versions of our sliders, anybody recognize them? Or you think Viral having them made for their bikes?
I feel this is very interesting:
I am following their channel since a while, they have a few videos on “forged carbon”
Wow, great find. I can’t believe how simple it is.
Super disappointed to see Qvist’s innovative and patent pending hub engagement mechanism being ripped off.
They’ve outlined the issue in the ‘Recent’ stories on their IG:
Wow, to see your own creation being born elsewhere. We truly know how heartbreaking this is. We really do. Hope they know they are in for a long and expensive fight 
“What I would say is we’ve essentially just relocated an existing conventional drivetrain to the BB area - everything the chain touches is as normal, and as above, chain driven gears are extremely efficient.”
Does not surprise me at all. This will be the new ‘fad’ and endless emotional comment section bitch fights to come. 
Yes. I have noticed also that new enduro/downhill bikes are bringing flex back.
@DEVLINCC congrats on bike of the day!
Woohoo! 
Interesting bike posted on the Radavist. Mostly because of the dropouts used which I presume allow for BB height to be preserved when swapping wheel/tyre sizes.
As seen in the thread here - Thesis project: Machining a full suspension enduro bike - #54 by Bucko
Congrats on the feature! @lafflaren
