Eh, I was bored watching the women until the top qualifiers came. The guys still make my jaw drop in disbelief watching them. Gwin's just unbelievable; I probably won't tire of seeing him ride. The young guys are very exciting to watch too; with Brosnan out, I've been rooting for Richie Rude. Sam Hill and some of the more daring and creative types are great to watch too. Any pics of Tracey's seatpost decapitating moment?

The Lahar is a better design IMO, but it didn't make it to production. Likely far too expensive. I wonder how much the ones out there cost. If anything under $5k for the frame, I'd say they got a deal, seriously.

What kind of aluminum is the frame made out of? Some aluminum alloys are not very anodiziding-friendly. Anodizing alum alloy tubing that is subject to repeated loads/stress... sure it's lighter than paint, but it reduces the fatigue life of the metal and more prone to crack. Not to mention anodizing can affect tolerances. I don't care about a solid chunk of alum being anodized, like a lever, collar, or headset cup, as they're not really crack prone, but frame tubing is another story. What's the warranty on this frame?

Did that light in the background effectively make his rear wheel disappear with such a slow shutter speed? I wonder if a vignette effect would look better than the lens shroud creating a shadow.
