New Yabusame prototype frame out of Japan.
Some cool features including: cut out in back of seat tube to achieve super short wheel base, v brake mounts under the seat stays to protect your brakes, looooong drop outs for drastic gearing changes.
Not totally sure about all the frame cut outs. But this just a protype, so we’ll see how it holds up.
Not sure if its 700c or 26″

wow, lots of holes in the seat stay!
Looks like 26″ wheels
Nice one Lewis. I’d be interested to know more about this. I’m guessing it’s a 26″ from the size of it, but the tyre clearance cutout is really too narrow for any 26″ slick. The cutouts look like weak spots to me, but it’s only a polo bike, not a tourer or road bike, so probably won’t have enough hours of riding for it to fail. looks like there are no cable stops or guides…. It looks pretty clean though and well made. cool.
