Yesterday the second patent application was filed so I thought its about time I show a bit of what Im working on....
The romantic story behind the bike is that my previous build was lacking a proper crown piece. What I really wanted was the headtube to visually continue down to the wheel. That is not possible of course so I set out to fight my way around this problem with asymmetrical rims and tires and the lot...
The real story behind the bike is that from the beginning I got signs that this is possible if you get the geometry right. Now, after some 10 or so builds and modifications, measurements, more accurate measurements, gallons of beer and even more sleepless nights I finally am round to the insight in how to make a bicycle with angled wheels, a frame build in a single plane (attention aerowheenies) and still ride like a "normal" bike.
The bike in the photo is the current dev. proto, so it has some strange bits and pieces on, and some bits are missing... but it the the worlds first ever proper running No-Fork bike.
