Those are the original SRAM grip shifters circa1987 designed as an end-of-the-aero bars twist shifter for tri .. And it all started with that shifter.

Good thing it still has some spacers. We wouldn't want to be too extreme.

I first read it as "death-penguin".

Ups sorry....but obviously this won't be sold that fast.

And what we learn from this bike, triple or quadruple redundancy is good to have....

Spotted in Hoi An, Vietnam. No idea what it was made from, it seems to be wood or maybe some sort of resin.

Fuck me. Impressively hideous. Does it actually function as a bike or is it just decorative?

Hideous, expensive and a death trap.

Is that bingo?

Are you absolutely sure it isn't made from giant irradiated cockroach limbs?

Terrifically ugly as it is, kudos to the maker, that is a pretty incredible piece of work!

And as far as I can tell, it looks like it functions. You can see the drive train, and also the cabling covered in wooden beads, like a crazy clone of the compression less outers made of totally inappropriate material!

Saw one of these in the wild today...Thank Christ it was dusk so I didn't have to see the full horror of it in full daylight....

Yeah, I had a good look at it, and I’m fairly sure it’s rideable, to some degree at least. And yeah I agree, it looks like it’s melted but it’s still quite impressive

Now you mention it, no I’m not.

Damn my eyes hurt after the last few pages. The dropped cockpit biek, small wheeled city mutant and that Chinese abomination are heavy

The segmented wood housing got me.

Perfection indeed

negative rake forks

What's not to like? Great stability, and it solves the wheel ejection issue with disc brakes and QR hubs :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
