Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

there is no excuse for a front mudguard looking like this

yea there's a few things really wrong with it but
a) this isn't the porn thread and
b) whatever, it really looks like it's a lot of fun

Also love that paint, looks gorgeous..

Yes, the Elephant NFE colour is great.

And I don't care which thread this is, if you build a bike in that price range, get the mudguards right.

I believe they are banned on this forum. There is a silent agreement not to post about it since the supremacy of front loading has been established.

build a bike in that price range, get the mudguards right

Yeah there really is no excuse. Also thought the levers were a bit much.
I want a rat version of this as my alwaysoutside/utility/dontneedmudguardsonanyotherbike bike

Looks like one escaped the censors on this page

Just post and brace for impact, there will be grumbles regardless of what you post wherever. If you scroll back I'm sure you'll find panniers-aplenty anyway.

If this was the rim brake version I would be in.

low profile rims would look better IMHO

to quote @amey (or maybe @cake )

"the bike that instagram built"

certainly does "tick all the boxes"

It'd still look better with low profile rims though

It's still a BLug bike - they charge enough to do it better.

I am pretty sure that saddle is not IG approved

thanks to @Hulsroy for bringing this to my attention

That is a looker for sure!

Fuck yes. More info? That chainring has caught my attention.. unless it isnt a narrowwide

I could live without the red saddle but aside from that I like it.

So the awesome woman who looks after my boys turned up on this today. Home made electric bike is wild.

Whats the thing on the chainstay for?

Bike looks awesome.

I asked the same question. She doesn't know - I think the bike was pulled out of a skip (before the motor was added). I think it is meant to clear mud off the chain before it goes through the derailleur.
