wtf, the tyres are massive

They look like 26" Maxxis Hookworms.

5x^ awsome. What cranks are those? They look a bit like tune ones.

Here.

That's the least offensive speedvagen I have seen. Still pretty ugly.

I came across them on a thread on mtbr.com when looking for inspiration for my Pomp monster cross build.

Both the work of http://www.amarobikes.com/

I work with rocket scientist (@eutelsat) and I can reliably tell you that the brainier the bod the stranger the haircut - you can double that for Russian rocket scientists - it hard not to giggle sometimes

Heh, EADS Astrium is a client of ours, we had a meeting with them recently and my Texan colleague, with no hint of irony, used the phrase "it's not Rocket science" when describing some of the workings of the new dot-Astrium Top Level Domain.

painted stems :( did it ever look good

I passed A Level Physics in 1968 but then went on to study Botany at university (I guess I'm just not that awesome)

Good luck to those taking the exam!

good.
oh look, it's a bike:

any more pics of the kiyo, btw?

I don't get it?

And bar angle can>>>>>

all ti bike

Constant belittlement, you literally cannot help it can you?

How is saying that I was shockingly under-prepared for an examination belittling anybody?

I don't get it?

And bar angle can>>>>>

It's a repost of a bike specifically designed for riding across wet sand in morcomb bay iirc.

Its been discused a lot.

Lots of aspects at odds with each other.

Still it looks fecking brilliant, and the feeling of self drive you'd get, once you span up those Hookworms would be amazing.

We all have to find our level on the awesomeness scale

Needs more clearance idealy. Although that would spoil the look somewhat.

The tyres will deposite sand onto the chain, and from there into the drivechain.

Hookworms are great though. Took some wet grass, and mud filled shortcuts on my loaded longbike. Forward traction, and tracking was pretty much unaffected at the admittedly slow pace I was riding. Plus they are bloody comfortable.

Where have you been?

It took him a while to get out of this:

I won't dredge up the discussion again then!

Yeah I definitely agree with the fact it looks awesome, apart from that bar angle...

Worth searching in this thread and on the net tho. I have some epic image in my head of it being ridden across a bay.

...although I may have subsequently made it up.

I know Americans don't really 'do' irony - my son's an American so this is said with love

Do you ever work with Siemens ? another lot of funny haircuts

ahem....first posted back in '09

also it was designed to ride across a desert not a beach

that being said he's taken it out in the wet

Wow, that's nice...

well... I prefer to say that some people believe that fixed gear involves much more than "supercoolretrosteeltrackframeswithvintagecampyforurbanlife" and there's life beyond urban assaults...
Fixed gear it's something without defined shape, including enjoying it over any kind of terrain, potholes, road, dirt tracks, mud...
