Erm... it's a custom frame with beta parts stuffed in it. I'll beg to differ with the the guy in the post, who seems to think it's god's gift to beautiful welding. It looks rather awful, but that's just me.

That's got to be heavier than the standard frame surely?

Better off fixing the clutch ?

Cable ties holding the mudguard on, still better than steel bolts directly into an aluminium frame 

All that effort, for what?

Maybe had a lot of offcuts of alloy/steel tubing neding used up?

Well I think it's a good effort apart from the intersection of the front of the seat/mudguard, the piece of carbon and the piece of alloy with all the holes, tidy that up with one piece of formed carbon or plastic and you have a neat bike. Nice to be different.

I always use cable ties, brake more easy than mudguards...

Why when Beta do a very nice hydroformed frame?, Too many welds to worry about breaking and the weight. It looks cool though apart from the plastics bodged on.
