White and light


Frame and Wheel posts an image of a carbon fiber Austro-Daimler Superleicht. This is apparently a large frame, a 62 cm, with a unique white finish (the original was a yellow "champagne"). This version of the Superleicht is around 1,200 g (2.6 pounds) including frame and fork compared to the original version 2,000 g (4.4 lb). White is elegant, but creates problems when cleaning. The graphics on the frame are very simple by modern standards, and might be too boring for many consumers. The Superleicht lettering appears too close to the center of the top tube, and is the result of inadequate graphic design software. The frame features internal cabling and standard English thread bottom bracket (68 mm).
