The red electrical tape repair on the bars is a nice touch.

That Onza stem tho!

I think I'd like to see a DIY stem made of the same stuff as that seat stay? chain stay? and at the same angle

@amey short wheelbase

amey only rides his uncool bike the gym now. I think he's taking a break from influencing.

lovely

This is so cool.

Same same but different...

stronggg

Can he really be tackling anything on that that requires the use of a dropper? it looks like it would handle like a boat?

i'd like to see a video of that being ridden

the bike that is...

As would I, I'm really struggling to see the point of it.

I guess the dropper is to make it easier to get on/off. As for the purpose, who knows, it has the look of a "because I can" sort of thing with the Lauf fork and gearbox.

Some more info on the builder here

Looks like fun in fairness

That's not a bad point! @birofunk of course it's from NAHBS.

*edit, just read that its dear susan, of course its fucking mental with no real rhyme or reason.

That's fucking amaaaaazinnggg!

Swamp bike

any idea of the front rack model on 1st pic ? terrific bikes... mine looks a bit like #1
just ordered axiom lowrider front pannier racks for it...
unfortunately it's attacked by rust very severely... after many nordic winters... rat is cool and we're all gangster until the dreaded rust cracks start to create anxiety :-p

p.s. i'm digging thos (mavic special edition ???) wheels as well

Apologies for crappy photo stolen from Instagram
