Not too sure exactly what this represents, but apparently it's the stress applied to the frame, not sure under what conditions though. Still kind of cool.

    Looks better than the millions of black stealth Venge's.

    you'd think there would be more stress at the top of the fork but it's the same as the middle of the seat tube!

    Maybe someone should drill thousands of little holes in it and insert microheat sensors just to see exactl;y whats going on :D

    They did a similar one with the Shiv a while back but that was airflow...

    Well it seems only the frame is relevant (i.e. not the seat post or forks) and the colours represent the amount of deflection when the frame is held at the head tube...

    That would actually be pretty cool to ride around. It's got Campag on it as well! :D

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    They forgot to do the spokes.

    I 100% agree with you. It looks bloody awful. A good bike ruined. (and surely it wasn't just an exercise in showing the stress, if it was, you'd do it to a cheaper crapper bike... its funny how some people actually like it, Id hate to see what the inside of their houses look like or what they dress like :)

    It's so awful in fact that its one bike where I hardly even looked or noticed that it had nice Campag stuff on it.

    The valve stems seem to be taking a bit of a hammering!
