they are on the anglohomo payroll, its obvious
but in the end who fucking care, they lost to a bunch of danish cucks with medical tape on their legs who subsequently got cucked by the eternal med bvll, i just cant wait for those frames showing up on ebay to build them with 850mm mtb bars and tarcking my way on public roads

Can someone explain the issue to a person who doesn't keep up regularly with the latest design crackdowns.

British Cycling spent so much money on developing this bike on the wild assumption that it was substantially better than any other bike out there.
So why did it fail?
Are the riders just not up to standard? It's true that the British track cycling team isn't as good as it was in previous Olympics, but they're still good and surely this bike is so much better that they'll blow the competition away.
Or was this bike based on misinterpretation of aerodynamic principles? This is much more likely, since it seemed to assume so many things will work in its favour to get the results needed, and the likelihood of that happening for each rider who has a different body type is small. Also, the frame looks very compliant (read: flexible and power absorbing).
Will we see this frame again in competition? Don't count on it.

Metrosexual Hambini said before the event even happened that the team using it had no chance anyway so it wouldn't be a fair test of its abilities.

It's out of character for the UCI to allow anything radically different to the norm and that's good thing.

I love keirin but I wouldn't want to go quite that far for Western track events. Maybe a standard issue carbon track bike like a Dolan DF4 for all riders? Benefits of modern design but fairness of having the same bike for everyone

"Aerodynamics" and "power" are just copes for other nations, when you're a British chad you don't need such things.

it's unusual to say the least to have such a wide fork and seatstays. however, it's not weird that the UCI "allowed" it, the overall shape of the bike is restricted from a 2d perspective and this bike just used the 3rd dimension in a creative way.

female are allowed carbon frames such as anchor/bridgestone phr7 and phm9 which the most used, kalavinka also make female carbon frames and few other brands, not a lot of variety tho, every now and then one of those frames pop up on njs export but all in manlet sizes :(

they are rare. i'm built like trash, only 1.80cm but almost all of legs, ride a 54 and for a track bike its ok to go smaller, long seatpost and standard 100mm stem(short torso), you get a very good saddle to bars drop without needing track drops and its big enough that you dont have toe overlap
