The Zeus returns!
 
That's one of the coolest bikes to come down the pike in
awile. Its customized...

It isn't just that they drilled out tiny bits, they
didn't put the holes that close together or make them
very big. The weight savings might be a few grams. Same
for the holes in the brake levers. If someone was to ask
me to get obsessive about trimming weight off a bike like
that, I'd machine a channel around the back of the cage
bits. But the goofy thing about it is that the bike has
Ksyriums on - not exactly the lightest wheel around. (At
least take the stickers off the wheels.)

That rear triangle is pretty damn tight: <http://www.cyc-

I don't have to switch to a down tube front shifter.

I've got a friend who did the drill on his mountain
bike, anywhere he could. It had more holes than a screen
door. I did wonder a bit whether all those holes might
affect aerodynamics, but that's not very important on a
mountain bike.
 
It's just like those Civics you see buzzing around every
suburban street with big rims and exhaust pipes. It doesn't
do much for performance. But the difference is that if you
think your bicycle is fast, then it IS fast, because you are
powering it...

As stated in the artical the bike is at the uci minimum. No
need to do anything more. the drilling was just to put the
bike on the min.

Is that a dentist's bike?

I wonder how heavy the rider is. Seems like that single tube
would flex a lot.
