My new bike..its maiden voyage tonite..

My tastes are a bit more traditional (if you consider a Litespeed Ti with carbon fork "traditional), but it does look very cool.

How is it as far as lateral and vertical stiffness? Sometimes unique designs suffer in one of those planes. I once had an Alan aluminum frame (standard diameter tubes, glued lugs) that would auto-shift when I stood up and honked on the pedals. It certainly was nice on rough roads, but you couldn't hammer on the thing.

Enjoy the new ride, my friend, and keep the sticky side down.
 
ren...nice bike. i think i remember you had some trouble with a previous order with them...im glad it worked out, it is certainly an eye-catching bike

i like those rolf wheels, they are really sweet...but for pete's sake LOSE THE SPOKE PROTECTOR!!!!!!


my lbs got two new pegorettis in....i might need more italian steel to keep my tommasini company
 
whoa....

that ride is crazy!

is it stiff at all?



i would be terrified to ride that thing...
 
I've hunted around on there website a good bit... dont see a diagram of how it works...

Anyone know?
 
Ren, is this the reason for the new bike ?? :eek:

Hehe- this was floating around on the roadbike forums months ago. The bike is actually one of those little toy replicas you can buy at import stores. Nice photoshop work though.
 
I've shown these bikes to people who know about these things and we still don't get how they work. They wouldn't trust them off road either (the mountain bike ones that is).
 
I used to work with steels used for fixings, it can be pretty tough stuff. Here is an example. The new Airport bridge the Brits buit in HK before they handed it back to the Chinese has all of the suspension cables made in part by me ;) (Dont go there lol) a single strand measuring 4.98/5.83 mm would hold 40T on a vertical lift before failure. Steel cable is drawn through dies that are shaped so that when all the indevidual strands are twisted together there are no spaces between them.,(Imagine a jigsaw of sorts but in 3D) There is no way in 'law-suit-USA' would a company sell a product that was likely to fail.
