Is there an engineering reason for the curved tubes? otherwise its just excess weight and bulk!

stiffness and aero dynamics, the top tube back to the seat stays is all one beam, and the seat tube follows the wheel.

Not my cup of tea to be honest and I suspect it might actually be a bit too stiff for the road. Corima road monocoques were a bit of a flash in the pan if memory serves me correctly.

I had a look at Ben Kersten's BT a few moons ago. It was heavy and flexed like a 10yr old steel frame........

I hope they're stronger now.
