No-Fork project, bicycle geometry hacked

Two words:
Camber steer

All the wheel forces are fine, they're close enough to regular bicycle loads and bicycle wheels are usually more than capable of tolerating substantial out of plane loadings, both in the main wheel structure and at the axles/bearings. As pictured, it does seem to be lacking spoke bracing angle on the drive side of both wheels, but that's a surmountable problem. As a proof of concept, it's an interesting demonstration of just how far one can deviate from correct design while still ending up with something ridable, in much the same way as some of Olli Erkkila's builds are, but that's more down to the room for error in the standard bicycle and the standard cyclist than it is evidence that such novel designs are really worth pursuing. We've all ridden old wrecks with the wheels out of line and non-circular and the headset either as loose as a goose or indexed, so it's no surprise that an ordinary rider can maintain control on a well constructed but wrongly designed bicycle.

A shaft drive would solve the drivetrain problems, since there is no problem with rotating the final drive about the shaft axis to any arbitrary angle. It would also have the virtue of being enclosed, eliminating the potential brake disc contamination issue highlighted by other commentators above, and the shaft enclosure tube could also provide the main 'chainstay' structure, simplifying the looks even more. The clean drivetrain would also go well with some of the proposed uses for the concept.

In your opinion, but you might not have sufficient detachment to have an opinion worth listening to on the aesthetic question.

You seem to have proven that a bike built on the piss can be ridable (although we all knew that anyway), but don't kid yourself that you have dome something that anybody else will be interested in, except as a circus side show.

Got a problem Mr Frasier? Dont know who the we is youre referring to but I dont recall you to be one of them.

The build of this bike is not a deviation of correct bicycle design as you suggest, but a new and valid new geometry design that allows for angled wheels. It is the first time in bicycle history that this has been made possible. If you would have checked my Flickr you would know that. If you are skeptical I can respect that and I'd be happy to answer any of your questions. If you just want to take a piss, please go somewhere else.
