:shock: wouldn't have thought it was very stiff - probably quite comfortable till it wasn't :lol:

I remember seeing a RaceInc frame during my BMX days in the late 70s/early 80's that took it all even further. Even all the components fitted to it were drilled out with loads of tiny holes.... Apparently the team were told just to race on them! Didn't hear what happened to them but my guess is that it probably ended in tears...
 
I'm goin' with stickers – can't see any light through the frame :?

Nice idea for weight saving though – now were did I put the Black and Decker??
 
American did drill out one of there frames to prove how stiff it was think it was either an MI 16 or a complite dont think thats it though,to many holes
 
I was wondering if they were stickers :?

More from the same mag

American showed that at Anaheim IIRC...great PR stunt...would have coped well with UK weather if they ever made it.
