So it's a beefed up AMP fork and an upside down Whyte rear end (ish 😉 )

Has that got double disks at the front? Still better looking than an Orange...

Isn't that a bit URT but without a triangle?

So if you sit down it'll be smooth, but stand up and you'll be part of the unsuspended section?

Isn't that the same frame that this bloke was messing about with a few years back but this time with a fork of similarly barking origins rather than an off the shelf job. Rather him than me.

All good until a bit of bearing play develops, then it'll be a floppy as john thomas after a night on the absinthe.

Yep

Also how high is that BB?

then it'll be a floppy as john thomas after a night on the absinthe.

To be fair it looks like the designer is an absinthe fan

I still find the stem the most disturbing bit.

If you stand up the whole thing will boing and flop about eventually folding up completely like a Jacques Tati style deckchair sketch.

Afraid not.

All the singlespeeders jumped ship when it became too mainstream. So they all bought fat bikes. Now that they're oh so achingly common as well, they're all buying 27.5/29+ or gravel bikes. Until those become mainstream. Oh, hold on....

Think I'll start up a company making 26" MTBs with bullmoose bars, 18 non-indexed gears, cantis with mahoosive long brake levers, and skinwall tyres. This time next year, Rodney.....

Kind of reminds me of something Philippe Perakis might ride.

If you don't know who he is, you weren't THERE, MAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

PRST1 called about the design rip off. He managed to make it look worse. Chapeau for the effort.

I don't get it... The bloke said he made it because he is tall and heavy and no bikes fitted him, so he made a bike for himself that needs a 100mm stem?
