Interesting frame design

kinda fugly IMO.

Its symbolic, like a wedding ring, has no beginning and no end…like a circle

I think the shock absorbing benefits it claims in the article are the most interesting part of it. I don't own a real 'road' bike, but run slicks on an old hardtail. I'm always surprised how much of a beating that bike and me) takes riding on roads with very little flex in the frame. Something like this might work well for a touring type of bike.
