Well it looks amazing, but isn’t the issue with lugged carbon, tube-in-tube bikes is that they are extremely expensive to make? I heard Pivot’s prototype version was like 15k to manufacture. Aethertons have obviously gotten price down with scale, but still 5k for a frame.
Looks like an Atherton, which I think looks great.
Do you have specs?
Hard to get a good look since there was a jump cut every 2 seconds but what I noticed: Angles are too harsh, dont use perfectly cylindrical tubes, and mixing alloy and composite is a bad idea
Looks sick but you’re giving up a ton of potential dropper length by having the rocker pivot intersect the seattube, not that tons of brands don’t seem to be getting away with this fine. Also from personal experience, having the brake mount running on a single bearing isn’t going to work, you really need two bearings or at least a double row one. A single row of bearings will almost immediately develop wobble, making eliminating brake rub impossible.
I had a gt lobo that looked like this way back in the day.
Chain stays look wide like it will rub the inner heels and sharp edges

You’re a fantastic designer!
Do you have experience with bonding CF tubes to aluminum?
