The shop page had a disclaimer that said NOTE: THIS IS A GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION NOT AN EXACT DEPICTION, which I guess can only mean “this bike is not real.”

It was named the Unity, not the Unit or the Unit X or the Unit Y, which I admit would be a funny way to continue the Unit / Unit X naming convention.

Honestly felt more like a last-minute “get AI to make up a fake model for April Fools” stunt than a real thing.

You can see an erased spoke in the rear wheel, the perspective down the hollowtech spindle is wrong, and the seat tube, chainstays, and down tube don’t intersect in the right place. And the front rack, jeezus, that looks like a drawing.

1120 rack goes on the fork, which actually makes sense. Mason also had a similar system.

The only non-mini-velo, non-brompton, non-cagro bike doing an attached headtube rack that I know of is the illustrious Rose Hobo.

And it gives you exactly enough storage space to put a single small pizza and bottle of kombucha on top of your rose gold Macbook Air.

  1. Add twine, twigs , cotton bias tape and a sea sponge to your handlebars. This will grant you the respect of the forest creatures you happen upon.

  2. Its a hillibike , so braking performance will suffer substantially in the wet. This is a benefit - learn to enjoy walking on damp days on singletrack.

  3. Are you sure you have enough string near the cranks? Perhaps some more .


Edit: grant has seemingly decided that a single layer of cotton twill isnt very cozy so hes glued felt squares to his bars

  1. Suspect numbered lists. They are something to be wary of. They will write numbered lists when they want you to do something. They want you to do what they want you to do. Numbered lists are broken down in small steps. When you make small steps, you became a smaller person. When you become smaller, you need numbered lists to tell you where to go and what to do. Those who give you numbered lists are not doing anything. They are numbering lists for you so you can do something for them.
