spy photos... Beyond Fab carbon TT bike
Uh, wow...Please excuse me while I go change my pants....
where are the cables? Looks faster than me.
Weary is the path that does not challenge.
It's so fast that you can't see the cables. Or the chain.
bike p0rn. Too bad you won't be able to ride it without chain, cables, or pedals. If this is a new weight saving strategy, I would maybe rethink it in terms of functionality.
It looks cool, but -10 style points for spam.

Jens Voight tried removing his saddle to save some weight, maybe this is the new trend :-P
Did you see that! Holy cow, it looked spooky to see him riding along with the jagged pillar just waiting there to ... tear him a new one... That had to suck for him.
To tri or not to tri - that's not a question at all!
A friend just got one of these, the bike is sexy as hell.
I believe Beyond Fab is/was buying open mold frames from one of the big overseas manufacturers. If this is still the case, I would expect to see this bike under a few names in the future... Xlab, Planet X, etc. Prices may vary so if you like the bike, wait and see what it costs from the others.

That's a sick ride.. those wheels are a trip.
There was a guy at the NJ State tri that had one of those bikes that doesn't have the seat tube... can't remember the name now, but that was sexy.

There are a few of those "beam" bikes... Softride is one of the more well known manufacturers.

I have a Softride (Beam Seat). I had ridden the bike for a year pre kid and then two years after. I love the bike, but after I rode current bike, 5.2 Trek Madone, well the softride was retired and is being donated to a local charity that lost all of its triathlon equipment for kids.
Am I the only one that sees a really crappy layout or finishing job at the junction of the seat stays and seat tube? Ugly pits and waves. Teh seat mast doesnt look very nice, either, but better than the other part. Aside from that, its a decent looking bike.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.
If I was going for something like that, I'd much rather have a Planet X

I like the white...
