I saw this parked up yesterday. The frame is exquisitely made and appearance to be a one off for a design store in Geneva.

So ... nice or not? I can't decide.

I'd say interesting, rather than nice.

Like an old tri bike beam frame design but made in steel.

Some quite nice details in the build. It has a hub gear with a shifter on the top tube.
Not sure I'd ride it but can appreciate the time and effort which when into it.

Nice. Bit like an alsop softride but within the carbon fibre beam.

Basically a different-shaped Allsop Softride. Idea: nice. Reality: not.

"Interesting" rather than "like/dislike"

It's a commercially available bike - seen them before, I think it was originally an 'art student'project. The Allsop was the original back in the late-80s - even the likes of Dave Lloyd were making them with 650c wheels mainly for the triathlon market.
