Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

the front looks so slacky I just hate these. Is the head angle like 72 or something?

It's bright pink, you can't hate.

I must admit... The first thing I noticed when I saw these Dosnoventa frames was the poor clearance. Destroys the whole look if you ask me!

... But then at the same time, no chance of toe over lap, meaning even less chance of joining the 'mega top tube ding' club. Looses slave points though I reckon.

^ Slack headtubes make a lot of sense for Tarck usage, I had one with similar geometry to the Dos - no toeverlap and really easy to handle at speed.
But agreed - really doesn't look slave... (especially when fitted with lights)

I don't think there will be many Dosnoventa's seen on any tracks.

^ That's kind of my point. If you sat down to design a bike for rad street riding and didn't care what it looked like you'd probably end up with a slack headtube - they make a lot of sense. You'd also end up with clearance for 25mm tyres too.
I dislike the attitude of Dosnoventa almost as much as Superb - I just wanted to make the point that it's form follows (rad) function

tarck, not track.

going in hard...

Twin Heds and carbon post.

All hail TM, king of slaves.

All hail TM, killer of Heds.

ftfy

Sorry TM!

2 heds is better than 1

that looks evil.

if it was such a good idea though, how come it didn't catch on? seems great for roads with no potholes.

I think they're quite popular with triathletes

That Raleigh just doesn't do it for me :(

Blasphemer!

is it cos it says raleigh on it?

LOW// 's droppin' around the world this week...

They seemed quite rare a few months ago, now it seems everyone and the dog has one.

Can't think of one that does.

Sunovabeetch - take it back!

If you compare this with how common the Mash is i think you'll find they're still rare...

Mash - Taiwanese mass produced
Low - Hand built in SF by a small team of 2 -3

Can't think of one that does.

what? not even this one?

Likes. Nicely setup.

Love those frames, but don't think I've seen a setup I like on one yet. Pity.

Aw, and that sexy wishbone seat stay.

That is looking like HHSB defined, before there was even proper HHSB! Old school and loving it.

I've yet to see a Dosnoventa i like, i think it might be partly to do with the company seeming to be run by wankers. They almost make leader look classy.

I've always fancied a Nelson, it's a shame you can only get them in midget sizes now.

Also, while yes the UCI do seem to be a bunch of progress hating old men, to be fair to them that have to be a governing body creating a fair game. if they turned a bilnd eye at all the huge technology investments it wouldn't create a fair playing field for all the smaller/ poorer country's /teams

that bianchi colorway they did was nice. celeste over carbon.
