I posted this bike in the jackass thread earlier, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it all afternoon. Luckily it was still locked up outside when I left work tonight, so i snapped a bunch more pics.
The original pic: brakeless, freewheel conversion.
Brakeless drivetrain: proof. I kept looking for a coaster brake. Then I spun the cranks around. Yep: freewheel.
Sweet Alex rim
Rad bars
Totally missed the kickstand the first time. Baller.
Rear skewer up front; nice touch
Saddle.
That’s all.
Does the bike belong to the homeless-lookin dude in the background of your last photo?
I’m sorry that you didn’t get enough attention the first time you posted this bike, but there’s already a thread for this subject.
not exactly the most terrible thing i have ever seen? looks like a winter bike that some one put there no snow wheelset on for a decent day?
Kowloon doesn’t get out much?

This bonemarrow guy has a spectacular lack of understanding of what “whit” and “sarcasm” are.

Nothing wrong with an inexpensive Alex rim.
Nothing wrong with a kickstand
Nothing wrong with a beat seat.
Nothing wrong with using a spare skewer
I agree its mega unsafe and a hazard to others, but who died and made you king of bikes? get over yourself

I thought this entire forum was about being the king of bikes.
Anyone know where I can find a carbon fiber kickstand? Trying to drop a few grams…

Easton makes one and it costs $750.
It pops up on chainlove for $39.95 from time to time.
