Wow, that's awesome.  In a recent thread, i put together a quick photo montage showing what I imagined to be the history and lineage of the "swoop-tube" idea, but I left out the "no idea is new" example.

Looks like a comfy ride! I remember reading a tidbit on how riv lengthens their head tubes on stepthrus so the joints of the down tube and top tube aren’t so congested. That bike illustrates the congestion point! Not sure if it’s solely for aesthetics or if there’s more to it…
