The circular rear looks like it might be an interesting concept, but the seat tube to top tube interface looks weak, I'd be afraid of it breaking at that joint, though if it's also welded to the circle-stays (for lack of a better name), then it might be strong enough, but still looks suspect.

They should make the forks round also and curve the down tube for
clearance.

yuk!
wrong on multiple levels.
While I can actually grok that the circular
seat stay/chain stay/seat-tube support might flex.
it strikes me as contrived and over-thought.

I'll stick with triangles.

Yikes.
Sorry, guys, I just can't go there.
Call me backward, fine, whatever.
I'd sure hate to have to try and straighten it after a crash.
(I'm just sayin'...)
