Anyone seen this type of brake rotors before? They sure make the bike look unique. This guy had his bike stolen, but recovered (it was easy to identify on the visual description)...

Those are unique....gues thats why they found the bike easily...:P

Those are commonly refered to as "perimeter mounted" rotors. I have not seen that particular wheel/rotor combo, but I like it.
There are a few companies using similiar brakes on their production bikes (sorry I don't remember who).

Actually, they're called "Perimeter" brakes, not "Radial" brakes.
Anyway, there's no advantage to them other than poser factor. They do, in fact, add to the MoI of the wheel due to them being further away from the hub and the extra weight. To offset the difference, you will find that bikes with perimeter brakes have only one rotor versus two.
I cannot say that I would want them. I'd take a nice set of PVM brakes over those ANY day.

Naw, I wouldn't want such a set either, there are better ways to spend that money. But it does make the bike look unique...

Gee, and an automatic image resize would sure come in handy in this thread.
