This came up on an unrelated Google search. It's an 'artisnal' bike with five costs of paint. I can only see broken teeth everyone I look at it.
Not a new idea though.
“Donkey bike”
I genuinely want one! And my daughter just asked if it comes in different colours. 🙂
One brake only? Illegal to sell or use in the UK surely?
"Ambrosio aluminum 36-hole wheels,"
36 between the two wheels or each wheel?
Clearly Hipster...site offer to add to bag...
If only it folded...
not enough brakes...
Belongs on the learn to manual thread.
That looks tailor made for the hipster beardies.
Agree that the brake situation is rendering it iffy-illegal for street use in the UK.
Looks like it could be a laugh, but not at that price. Regarding the brake thing, I know it’s illegal, but what are the chances of it being enforced? Not excusing it, just can’t see it happening.
I'd like to see a geometry chart before committing.
I need to know the effective seat tube angle.
£100 shipping?!
funkmaster - remember that numpty who hit a pedestrian in london - thats what he was done for
Have we reached peak 'naming things 'peak hipster'?😉
It's certainly peak-adjective.
"Braze welded"? Well which?
On a related note, wandering around the hipster shops in the centre of Ljubljana last year, I had a competition with a mate who was in Seattle at the time to see who could find the most hipster thing for sale. Mine was a toss-up between the wooden "fixie hex key set" (clearly incompatible with derailleurs or indeed freewheels) and a "locally-sourced" wooden bow tie, but I think they both beat his "hand cut-TODAY" fries and vintage watch faces ($8 other watch parts not available).
Got to love someone who only exists to take the fun out of everything 🙄

Like a sponge, for fun?
Is it me or does the modern one miss the point of it - the fact you climb on board by sitting down, not flinging a leg over?
I don't think I fancy trying to ride up/down kerbs etc. with an 8" diameter front wheel..it could be fun though!
Saw one in London a few months back. All we could think was you don't half look stupid riding down the road on that.

If you wear a silly enough hat, nobody will notice the bike.
Definately way up the hipster index but I find myself liking it..
And actually it wouldn't be too hard to make it road legal, pop on a front brake...
I wouldn't mind one to stick in the boot of the car instead of a folder, But not for that price, I reckon you could probably do it a bit cheaper using tiawanese gas pipes and thinner paint...
The description says it has got handles. Hand sown leather handles at that. I can imagine the thought process of anyone considering this containing 'people will look at me'
Steering tillers is where it’s at for next seasons hipsters. None of this handlebars malarkey.
