might be a good idea or whatever, but I'm sick of designers' hallucinations turning into reality

also, freewheel no brakes?

This would be cooler without Bluetooth GPS and 2-300$ less. No reason to make something that's supposed to be simple so complicated.

Also, in the video its fitted to a bike designed to be simpler, less maintenance n so on, then you have to go plug it in and you can never ride in the rain with that phone on your bars, kind of defies the point a bit.

What's wrong with a nob to set speed, and fuck phone integration. That I'd buy for a city bike, or people over 50 like most e- bike owners.

Fence railing + two U locks = sorted!

Even I, who is possessed of a a pretty dubious taste in bike radar, can tell that that is export quality grade A shite.

Jesus, it's not even a joke. Their FB is an anti motherload.

edit- only £150 though!

I can't breathe.

Oh my fuck.

Fairly understated for Thailand, a country where a moped is dangerously underloaded unless ridden by three people and a goat..... Spent a few months riding bikes and building houses there.

Liking the integrated d-lock on the rear.

Which one?

Snobbery aside, it's not really worse than Old Faithful

Come off it.

Old and faithful perhaps, but certainly not beautiful... It's a touchy subject though.

The candowell looks like it was put together by a scaffolder with a hangover. Tons of excess material, horrible joints.

Even if I didn't know it was the obree, I would know old faithful was not a pile of shit.

Wasn't suggesting it a pile of shit... far from it.

/subject

Was more in response to Tester saying it wasn't any worse. I agree that I like the way it looks partly because of the story behind it.

At least the people behind Candowell/Talk of the Town managed to get the slots in the track ends horizontal :-)

Looking at the black one, I'm not sure they did...

Unacceptable.

Unacceptable.

True. That packet of fags should be a 20-pack, and they should be full strength.

Seriously, though, the noseless saddle is surely redundant on a sit-up-and-beg shopping bike

Fence railing + two U locks = sorted!

It's got a thia banner...could be literally true.

I'm just guessing here but the Candowell is probably put togheter in a back yard by a guy in flip flops so its a solid win to me..
