Baracchi means "snot" in Italian right? 🙂

I thought it was the act of holding a finger one a nostril whilst blowing
snot out the other, but I could be wrong. When the Italian team is doing the
TTT and the one at the front yells out "BARACCHI" the rest of the team
weaves to the side to avoid the spray.

its a grasshopper on wheels, isnt it?
Actually it looks alot like those appalling first attempts at something similar by Trek in the late 90's. no seat tube and [censored] Alu or CF(most likely) frame. Dissapeared after a year or so...

Those pictures highlight something I've been saying for years.
When is someone going to design a bike with a bottle and spares container
integrated into the frame?
Look at that beautiful bike and see how stupid that water bottle cage and
spares bag looks. You spend thousands on good aerodynamics only to have it
wrecked by a lousy two dollar water bottle and a fifteen dollar spares bag.
C'mon you guys, we need some serious R and D here. Suzy light up that gas
torch and Hippy you go and find a hacksaw.

was it the slingshot that had a piece of helicopter blade instead of a downtube & a sprung cable instead of a seattube ?
You were expected to replace the helicopter blade every 12 months.

Don't know about the helicpoter blade, but it did have
a cable for the down-tube. Seat-tube and top-tubes
were standard IIRC.

Here's one:
