Right? Who would be crazy enough to do that?
Next you're going to tell me someone will make one without a top tube?
Hey, look here buddy. You can't be your own comment thread and post all the plausible responses yourself like that. You're putting all the trolls out of work.
doesn't that prove their point? they all look overbuilt, as the original commenter said.
Carbon fiber, aerodynamics...
For this one it's used as suspension (not carbon fiber)
Not that rare in old mountain bikes either, pretty sure my old steel Raleigh was similar
Carbon fiber has very limited lifetimes when used for something with a lot of hard impacts, so if you're not sticking to smooth surfaces the bike can literally split apart with little warning
Eh...
Modern mountain bikes? Hell, they make car and motorcycle wheels out of it...
I Googled "motorcycle carbon fiber wheel" and autocomplete immediately suggested adding "failure" and doing that search has endless relevant results
