Concept Bikes & Bike Innovation - for better or worse

I'm liking those, price point is fantastic too, how much did you pay for Axles and grub screws if you don't mind me asking.

The axels are from some shitty pedals I had in the shed, I used a 'Bergtec Penthouse' bearing kit to get the spacing right. (this was given to me by my friendly LBS)

Grub screws were £1.10 which is minimum charge at 'All Fix' the local fixings company.

Also...
Would you be up for 3D printing a saddle?

I did consider a saddle, however I would need to fix the rails in some how. Dont know what the best way to do this would be... I haven't dismantled enough saddles to know different techniques.

Also my 3D modelling skills are not the best, saddles need nice curves but if LAE modeled something nice I could give printing it a go.

Berrow - awesome. I have used 3D printing for prototyping and modelling but not for anything structural. Are your pedals structural? What printer and material are you using? I have heard interesting things about the next generation of nylon filament printers...

I agree with fade's views on design, and for what it's worth, I'm an industrial designer. It's worth remembering that a lot of 'design' projects on kickstarter are from graduates (and presumably those graduates who haven't been snapped up by larger companies) rather than established and experienced companies - the quality of projects is more variable than traditional commercial stuff.

IndraRipper, if you send me an imprint of your arse, I'll convert it into a 3d-printable data for you.

I am using a basic RepRap machine - 'The Rap Man' is its name. The pedals are printed in PLA which is what we've had the best results from.

However using the far more expensive object printer we can get amazing results. I haven't printed a pedal using this as it would lost around £100 a piece!
