I think when the public see the bike it will be a little different. ie. Dan will have all his trick bits on there, carbon forks, X.0 mech, rear brake, etc etc
If that is Dans goldtec rear hub then it will be locked out, so no double freewheel.
Also he doesnt use the bash, he is a UCI rider, so it doesnt have to be big (better clearance)
And how are gears pointless? :-
