  • how perfect is that bike?? here's me thinking that I would prefer to have internal gear until I saw that.

    Perfect? Certainly not.
    As long as you put it in your livingroom maybe. Not if you want to use it as a commuting bike.
    Can't ride it because no pedals
    The chain will come off in the front
    Street illegal, because no retroflectors/strips/etc to the sides
    No lighting
    rim brakes that eat your rims and brake blocks and make the bike terribly dirty
    Derailleur system that is very maintenance-unfriendly
    Rear carrier w/o straps, spring loaded "thing" or bags
    So, in the end, it's just a piece of design. Nothing more.
    But okay, there is uglier design.
