I do not care. It is stupid AF and I like it and I want one.

I love it. That’s a shit ride by someone who knows better.

What’s the problem? It’s got a front rack. And…are those Biopace rings? :crazy_face:

Really, with my newly reinforced fear of landing face-first, the braced-on-one-side front rack makes it a cringeworthy machine.

Yeah, the hill topper is meh, it’s the janky front rack that really sucks

426

Any more cringeworthy than this?

At least the Mongoose probably isn’t owned by a bicycle professional.

What the fuck. To put that up for the public is actually irresponsible. What a dipshit.

whether tying up capital in poor product manufacturing ideas or inspiring their fans to maim themselves with terrible rack attachments, rivbike won’t pass up a chance to shoot their business in the foot

It would have been so easy to do right (or at least way better), yet here we are.

That’s freaky and I like it.

Sure it could’ve been little hands holding the brake caliper but what can you do?

thanks, I hate it
the long leg doesn’t add anything at that angle, a better move would have been to add a short tie between the stays and create a truss

yes one might wish to bridge between the stays, to attach a brake or perhaps a fender

Is that also not the worst direction? Placing it away from any position of strength?

437

But why?
