AB's "Not Sure" & "Average" & "huh?" thread

“The E-V Sunny Solar Bicycle has solar panels built into the wheels, which maintain a constant charge to the batteries. When you don’t feel like pedaling the bike is powered by a 500 watt front hub motor. It’ll get you up to about 18 mph, and even faster if you fall off a cliff. The catch is that it weighs 75 lbs., so you’re gonna need to use that motor unless you have legs like mighty oaks. A new one costs $1295, and kits to solarize your own bike start at $795. I remember the first time I got on a bike and realized that you have to pedal them to go. What a letdown that was. I thought they were silent motorcycles for people who weren’t into wearing leather.”

IS THAT LAIRD? Scott confirm this.

I am really torn about this one. pretty awesome, but kind of tool-ish at the same time.

Makes me think of starwars.

Yea thats Larid at thier junkyard.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
I play bike polo with that guy.

He is one of the guys who does Cyclecede here in SF.
Its our local Heavy Pedal Bike Rodeo. Its awesome.


with a few changes (like coordinating tires) this bike would be perfect:

I’m confused about that fixie inc. bike.

I like the frame with the rust/polished stainless.
I don’t like the bikes for heros thing.

I like the retro rust/leather/wood.
I don’t like that mixed with a belt drive.

wtf is up with a belt drive?

I like the 25ft view.
I don’t like the fucking no-flip 'n chops.

WHAT?

Crazy man’s TT bike. All about aero.
Top bar is for a version of the legendary Obree superman position, the bottom seems to be too low and the wrong angle. Probably only meant for a standing start.
Talking about Obree, it is pretty similar to Old Faithful:

Full marks for having the balls to build it whoever the crazy man was.

Is there a purpose for the S&S coupler on the seat stay of that fixie inc. bike?

That Peugeot would be sweet if it had a drivetrain.

THIS BIKE HAS DONE ABOUT 500 METRES AND RIDES SILKY SMOOTH. I HAVENT PUT BRAKE PADS ON, AS I DIDNT WANT TO MARK THE PAINT ON THE RIMS. PAINT WORK IS IMMACULATE AND VERY PINK.

THIS BIKE WOULD ALSO LOOK GREAT HANGING IN A CAFE OR SHOP.
