the pig was cool
The workmanship is undeniable, its a gorgeous bike and the details are stellar. Curious why they didn’t go the Stargazer/Fargo way with a taller head tube and bigger triangle.
It strikes me as a Bombora, i.e. huge tires for cush but not to be mistaken for a 29er mountain bike. I certainly wouldn’t push it hard with that tiny head tube and bolted fork.
what’s going on here, is that a 3D printed dropout shaped like some sort of dinosaur skull?
EDIT oh i see someone’s homebrew disc tab

That thing needs to have way more RGB LED case fans than it currently does.

Pointed backwards?
SQ does anybody make pegs that attach directly to the bottom bracket for these monstrosities? It’s probably like a $1,000 idea.

Mid 90s flatland bikes would sometimes have pegs instead of cranks.
