From the wiki link.

But, if you like, I'll find you a paper detailing their distribution across asia once I've finished [ahem]working [ahem].

EDIT (rather than prolonging the discussion...). The main reference on Leopard (Panthera pardus) distributions is Nowell and Jackson 1996, however sadly that is a book so I can't post it here. The next best thing however is the IUCN redlist database which compiles all the most up to date data on species distributions. This shows fragmented populations across much of South East Asia.

The chap in your photo is the a lovely Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) which mostly occurs in the Himalayas. I'm currently lucky to be studying for a PhD in Felid conservation and so in 10 days will be flying to Malaysia for a month to look for Clouded Leopards and may be lucky enough to get involved with a Snow Leopard project at some point in the next 3 years as well! :)

JFC, I feel used and owned to the ceiling. Thanks ;P
(Nice job, i'm also envious..)

come on leopard style ain't hipster

it's punk

and punk is freedom, anarchy and not giving a fuck
isn't that exactly the fixed gear feeling ? :]

Leopard Envy +1

Still wish I was ~~ the Beastmaster.~~

to me its the feeling of my pedals going around and around if I am moving, nothing to do with punk

Super, where did you find that? I have one of those chain guards, not sure why.

I think I got it from here, while googling for something like 'La Perle porteur'.

Give me a shout when you need to get rid of the guards. ;)

gotta correct me ...

see the arrows?

in case not....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

those arrows on the frame point backwards. they will slow you down.

They direct the air over the tubes neatly, reducing drag.

Nah I think sohi is right, if you look at the science then surely arrows pointing backwards would slow you down because it is like they are making you go backwards.

This is exactly why I have a Fast Forward wheel... I didn't want some stupid backwards wheel!

Do those FFWD wheels have a "pauze" button for track stand ?

Nope. you need to direct the air over the tubes without causing drag.

Look at the arrows in the diagram

Based on that logic, and looking at the downward arrows on the fork, and upward arrows on the seatpost, this frame is aerodynamically designed for mad backflipz.

hahaha

Increased down force on rear wheel for increased drive effiecency.

Slight lift at front wheel for lighter steering.

by the way, the asking price is 3.000$

That perhaps, is a bit much.

allegedly, it was built for Michael Huebner, so i cant see why allegedly it woulndn't cost that
or more

Oh my, that's simply lovely!

^^ wow, love it, that's my dream bike right there! want! ^^

^ Perfect courier bike

I know, was thinking - peckish? make a sammich!
