One size fits all?

London Langster?

OK so I was taking the piss a little. But the langster has compact geometry making it more flexible size wise, comes with front and rear brake, and has clearance for decent sized tyres (I'm assuming people in cream armarni suits dont cycle in the rain, so no mudguards needed).

A black one of these might not look too bad.

Something like the pasley guvner would be a good chioce ride wise but I'm not sure of the flexibility size-wise.

How about a Moulton for coolness and designer-ability?

Good call.
Moultons are great.

Really nice range of dutch inspired bikes in the little shop round by Saddlers Wells, they also do lots of trendy accessories as well. Plus, very nice people; she gave me a piano for free once and I have been sending budding sunday cyclists her way ever since.

belt drive.
I have spoken now, so do my bidding

no way??? it wouldn't be strong enuf

it'd be stronger than your face!

@ Murtle - Never ever get in a lift again - it may be held up just by belts - Google Otis Gen2

ftw

How about something like this??

Seriously though it's going to be difficult to get a one size fits all...

My girlfriend is tiny and she can just about ride my 56 with the saddle fully down... I'd recommend getting a 54 and make sure you've got a long seatpost for adjustment but also shorter cranks for little folk... Add to that a short enough stem with bullhorns or a longer stem with sweep back bars (something with a number of positions lenghtways) . Then you need a saddle that caters for men + women and various sizes... probably a Concor...

If they want it to be trendy I'd recommend a coaster brake singlespeed hub somewhere around the 70-75 GI ratio... it'll look tidy...

Ideally your best bet would be to go for something like this:

OR

The first is much nicer though...

Dude, the second is a ghost bike. I wouldn't reccomend riding one around town, that would be bad bad karma.

How about something like this??

might struggle a bit with the JB now.....

Don't worry, he is.

oi!

Run flat tyres
?

Am i the only person that see's the problem with this idea?

Tall people can ride small bikes with much less difficulty than small people riding tall bikes.

Peace

both are funny to watch though

pukes on cock

pours on petrol... strikes match

pukes on match

throws self on puke-fire

pulls self out of puke fire, drags self over to drown face down in river of puke

whacks off over puke

wanders off to look for some really groovey business trendsetters

pukes on clever pun whacking off

Okay, so basically this whole thing is much a do about nothing.

Get some shit create/unipack, make sure its single speed as many business trend setters (since the 'fixie' issue is coming up now does that mean that are just normal trend setters just 3 years late?) you don't want them crashing in London. Make sure its relativly small - while people can be precious about a perfect fitting bike for your needs the tall can live with a small bike. Paraffin wax the chain and your set.

Of course, if they are actually business trand setters they'll be way ahead of you and already have a dutch city bike. Please do keep up. Do you even read the style pages of the New York Times? No? Didn't think so. haha

um yeah fixie is inverted commas to show the asinine use of the word - I think people who set trends in business have a lot to offer the world - FFS you probably wouldn't know anything about 'fixies', be on this forum, or be able buy parts except from your lbs without business trendsetters, who came up with social networking, windows, internet card clearing or ebay.

You dont have to have tattoos, dreadlocks and wear rolled up jeans to ride a bike. They want a fixed gear type bike because it has clean lines and would look nice in the gallery, and if I can make some extra money off a trend why the hell not, look at half the new companies out there catering for fixed riders primarily - sure they love what they do but the money involved is important.

All this precious shit about fixed riding gets up my nose sometimes - it's only a bike - the more people riding them the better, they're for riding, not posing. If my company want to offer the use of a bike to people who want to see london by bike I don't see the issue.

'Business trend-setters' invented windows?

Crikey. Every day's a school day!
