Haha!
I mean their latest stuff is so weird and excentric. Like this rear derrailleur which requires a proprietary braze on the frame.
On the other hand, they have their super versatile and compatible cranks which seem great. They seriously offer something that not a lot of other brands do and it easily fits most bikes out of the box. Same thing with their tires. They made wide tires in a variety of sizes and widths before most mainstream manufactures and enabled people to build up bikes differently. I just don't get how the philosophy of these products go together. -
Ha!
I'd buy that for a dollar.

hippy
Visually that Rene Herse stem is quite nice imho. I also like the functionality of it. The integrated decaleur, the brake cable hanger and even the light switch is a neat feature. That extra tube and glueing or brazing it in though? Can fuck right off.
It's like converting a perfectly simple bike following well-established standards into something with a proprietary cockpit. To me, that's the opposite of good design or functionality.
