Thats an oddly built bike, the chain is on the brake side and the disc brakes goes on the drive side

what happens when engineers go overboard.

Coulda been nice with a Rohloff and a bit of bulk shaved off the frame.
Points for stepping out of the square.

It's kinda cool, I'd be curious to try one out. Also it looks like they pretty much copied a lot of Nicolai's bikes, almost exact copies really.

EVRAC · Sep 3, 2006

Also copied GT with the whole nexus mounting system.
Looks all jacked up and awkward.
However, good on 'em for trying. I applaud their effort.
What's wrong with all the US framebuilders?

interesting how many companies are trying a gearbox this year...

The geometry looks decent but the angle of that swingarm does give it an appearance of being jacked up, I'm sure they could have done something a little more aesthetically pleasing.

whats the story on the "shimano chaingang" transmission, or is that something the automatic translation came up with?

but, it does look like it provides for a nice rearward arc. I like the higher pivot design.

More being different, just to be different. (Reverse drive and brake etc).

Is it actually a gearbox or a no feedback system a la old school balfa nouveau riche? Edit: I looked again and it's a combo of the 2, weird.

frznnomad · Sep 4, 2006

weird is only the tip of the ice berg.

that is alot of metal

EVRAC · Sep 4, 2006

wow that's so raw.

frznnomad · Sep 4, 2006

wow i have seen those but never up close like that. dont you just love inovation.

so here is the question: does anyone know how you get a different gear ratio on those or are they just a set gear and hopefully you can push it off the start line.

nah, just like the GT IT-1 they took the easy way of solving the chainline problems inherant with using a stock Nexus designed for a SS gearhub chainline into a transaxle type setup (yeah i thought about this for my own design :rolleyes:

). And otherwise a fairly standard drivetrain/suspension arrangement that even Nicolai uses

and hey i'm hammereered and havent posted any real crap and what seems to be an eternity :cheers:
