Nice catch, it probably has the same tight Geometry as my Dosnoventa. When I bought it from them they told me that they didn't think that would be suitable for market, because mine has massive toe overlap.

If its a one off prototype, how did it end up in your possession? It seems like something that they might hang on to.

I got mine from a guy who told me it's been around the block with several different owners...
