Thats an awful lot of effort in something invested in something that looks more like a paperclip than the paperclip bike 🙂
I don't even know where to start with that.
No-one's likely to nick the thing, I suppose it has that going for it.
Has Graeme Obree been making bikes out of washing machine parts again ?
erm, that's gopping
That's very, erm, different!
I'm pretty much speechless.
Described as 'high end' in the last photo in the link too... 😯
odd thing that has strange choices "high end" with alfine and not rohloff but it has a rohloff style price tag 😕
Such a shame when a fantasitc bit of craftsmanship is spoiled by poor functioning items like cable operated disc brakes.
Ugly or beautiful, that just seems to spoil it for me.
That's Hora's new frame.
$12500? Still, nice lobster back bends.
First time i have ever said WTF out loud at a picture of a bike
Good work OP
That's Hora's new frame.
Wrong size.
Wrong size.
Then it definitely is Hora's.
I set 'em up, you knock 'em over! 😀
Bike made by a plumber?
[img]There are no bent tubes here – all of the curves and bends in the frame are made by sections of tube cut at an angle then welded together.

It would be fine if it wasn't for the disc brakes.

Couldn't afford a mandrel bender, then?
That's gopping.
Good for picnics if you want grated cheese...
or given the kind of loon who'd shell out on such a beast, would be handy for clearing stubborn tagnuts when they go feral.
a wise man once said, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"
the welding is beautiful but by god it's ugly
'orrible...
DrP

Ah yes because Ti frames always fail at the tubing not the welds...
Still - looks awesome as a concept bike, doubt its meant to be taken seriously.
WHy did they not do a full integrated post instead of sticking a boggo post in that you can't adjust? and as for that BB set up....
I dont get the point of all the extra welding segments, when a properly bent tube would smoother, cleaner and in all likelihood be stronger as well.
Its all very unnecessary!
it's showing off the lobster back bends which people that make custom exhausts get all moist about.
Yeah, no bends apart from the bits they've bent, and a ridiculously small amount of seat-post insertion are just the tip of the iceberg!
Cheers, Rich
Reminds me of something, that bike.
