honestly SO sick

Love it

I’m so confused.
How are they even remotely ridable?

if you have an instagram account can you zoom or is it just useless for olds?

My first thought was “you didn’t even circle the most disturbing part of the bike.” Then I realized i was looking at a loop of brake cable…

Canti boss cable guide is sweet. And is that a chainstay-mounted friction shifter!?!

is the rear wheel off center from the ground down seat tube?

naw looks that way from both sides, it’s just clearanced out the ass

looks like there’s a plastic bit ziptied to the frame to keep separation between frame and tyre

“Tire”

i love the shifter placement. seat tube mounted shifters didn’t have enough risk of finger amputation.

but it does unintentionally point you toward the fact that the frame doesn’t have a mount for the brake caliper.
