German brand Urwahn Bikes has unveiled a 3D printed steel frame that's built up with lightweight components from Schmolke Carbon, and it's certainly a head turner.
The first thing you'll notice about the frame is that it lacks a seat tube – or you could say that the seat tube and seatstays are combined – so how does it perform?
"The velodrome field test quickly showed the effect of the combination of steel and carbon – a comfortable geometry with brute bottom bracket stiffness meets aerodynamic lightweight construction," says Urwahn.
"The elastic suspension of the rear wheel guarantees additional riding comfort without sacrificing bottom bracket stiffness. This effect is particularly noticeable on longer rides and/or uneven surfaces; a decisive advantage over the competition."
We've not even seen this bike in the flesh never mind ridden it, so we can't comment on the ride quality ourselves. We're just showing you the pretty pictures, essentially!
The frame, made entirely in Germany, is copper plated and it's built up with a Schmolke Carbon handlebar, seatpost and saddle. Schmolke provides the 45mm-deep rims for the carbon clincher wheels while the hubs are from Tune.
A SRAM Red/Force eTap AXS groupset provides wireless shifting.
The complete bike has a claimed weight of 9.0kg (size medium). It'll set you back €8,499, which is about £7,300.

That's brilliant thanks very much. We have a couple of local Decathlon's so should be easy to keep an eye on at least

Ok so was planning to ramp test tomorrow but had a 1.5 hr session in the plan. So I chose a route that I thought would complement it (Quatch Quest)...
