@Crustradamus have you seen the full suspension versions?
Also my personal feelings on a headtube mounted rack are that it looks pretty janky just like the Rad bikes, and I’m curious why this is so preferrable to a normal rando-style rack and basket or whatever. Is it really that nice to ahve the load stay put while you steer?
Oh yeah I saw part of a clip of people riding those at a bike park. Am I remembering right?
Yeah like downhill bmx bikes, very cool, but very specific niche
Nope, I am pro-u-bolt rack and anti chicken pox mounts
though this should be getting “Radlawn” stickers
me too
if you make a cooler rack, add your own bosses for it specifically — demontable cycletruck designs have a lot of variety and there isn’t a compromise that works for more than one
NGL if you and a half dozen friends get these and ride them around you’re going to be the silent version of those dorks on mini motorbikes
Flagged
Lol
the bikes might be silent; the riders don’t have to be
With them thicc tires and a couple cards and clothespins, those ruckus boiz won’t know what hit em
I really like this, and I want to like it enough to get it, but I have no use for one of these at all.
My time on a sundeal didn’t fill me with the confidence/promise of fun to drop the $$$ on one of these, but I am extremely psyched to see this come to fruition.
Took a reallly quick second pass at the frame shape, trying to incorporate the feedback of a taller headtube (shorter bars) and tried to give it more of that “weird burro” look.
I haven’t put in the effort to add them in bikecad, but as mentioned, the bike will be riddled with them
I’m considering snagging this for parts, and it appears to be steel so it could be modded into a proof of concept bike?
