From the article on Core77 today:

“The confines of designing a bicycle seem pretty tight, but custom bike builder Shinichi Konno breaks out of them admirably. Shown here is his Silver Flyer track bike, which recently won both Best in Show and the President’s Choice award at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.”

At last year’s NAHBS, Konno pulled the sheet off of the equally-striking Air Line Bike, a very different take on fluidity that still manages to break new aesthetic ground while fulfilling its mechanical duties.

Mental !.

LeeW – is he a racist?

No, he just doesn’t think they’re “cool”.

Bonkers maybe.

Oh god, bicycles by designers. All style, no substance.

Second one has better standover, both useless for barspins.

UCI Legal??
