This bike is CLEARLY from the future:  http://cgi.ebay.com/Triathlon-bike-bicycle-all-custom-carbon-sickest-bike-/220706004847?pt=Road_Bikes&hash=item33631a5f6f#ht_850wt_1139 
 

I actually think it looks pretty sweet, but if you're brave enough to be seen at a race with this thing, you better win.  You'd look like a tool if you finished the bike mid-pack... lol.

It's very impressive, but clearly not from the future as it has no flux capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible....

Perhaps we should take it up to 88mph just to be sure.. I'm starting to wonder.

I would actually call it a blast from the past.

But if I'm not mistaken that frame style isn't legal for WTC or USAT, on of the 2,  can't remember.

Not really the future. That bike has been listed on e-bay multiple times over the last several years. About a year ago I think he was asking 12-15k. Even at 8k it is a risky purchase.

I guess this style bike is still legal for most of us, this is what it says on there site.

Question: I've heard that Softrides are illegal for racing?
Answer 1: Road Racing - For road racing, Softrides are illegal for racing in UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) sanctioned events. There are under a dozen UCI sanctioned races in the US and the rule only affects pro/elite, category 1 and 2 racers. If you are not a category 1 or 2 racer, racing in a UCI event, you are totally unaffected by this rule. Softrides are 100% legal for all USCF (United States Cycling Federation) and USAC (USA Cycling) sanctioned events at all levels, including pro/elite.

Answer 2: Triathlon - For triathlon, Softrides are legal in all categories and distances with one exception. Softrides are not legal for elite and juniors only in "Standard Distance" (Olympic) races, unless prior approval is gained from the promoter. Softrides are legal for all age group athletes in all categories and all distances, including "Standard Distance" (Olympic distance).

That guy has been trying forever to sell that bike on Ebay. First time I saw it he wanted 20k. About 4 months ago it was 10K and now down to 8K. If he keeps going down one day it will sell.

If the price was closer to 2k and the bike was closer to my size, I would buy it just to ride around in a Batman costume on charity rides.
