Badass bikes that aren't yours

Oh shit that thing costs 2k lol

Has this not been discussed? The drama around that thing is interesting Apparently WTP basically stole the design from a smaller brand and beat them to market. I don’t recall the full story.

Fingers crossed is the shit

Yeah Ruben’s company Fingers Crossed came out with a prototype ages ago, then WTP went to market with it. Deathpack was making a full sus BMX as well but when FC got theirs into production he politely stopped making em and told people to buy from Ruben instead.

god damn i want one of those

And like most things bicycle “stole the design” is more like “re-popularized a pre-existing idea using modern materials”

I don’t care about why or if it even works… but I want.

Was just addressing this with Blakey. With fenders and proper chainrings it’d be a perfect all-day road bike. Maybe I just don’t like the cranks.

I’m very into that aesthetically

the crank is divisive and I don’t personally care for the peugeot livery even if it’s well done

I want to ride the bike though

Yeah, I feel like this too.

If it’s somehow lighter and or more compliant because smaller tubes, I’m into it but if it’s just adding weight to be novel, f it

Those brakes are deep custom

direct mount only? guess I’ll stop dreaming about them then…

They’re brakes that require a custom frame built around them, of course they’re the stuff of dreams

True. I already have the custom frame, just not the custom direct-mount mounts. Oh well. Like I could even get the brakes anyway.

It’s fine! I’m fine!

the gravel eeBrakes will be $300 each/$600 per bike

also are those the belgiums where it is basically the disc rim but someone machined it down? i got a pair from them 10 years ago and they didn’t last long but were great while they lasted before i wore the “brake track” down

I actually like that English unlike most of them. No idea why. Maybe I dgaf anymore.

It’s probably the truss fork :hugs:
