Seen 4:30 PM, Deddington, Oxon
Make Orange
Colour White
looked like a 224, had triple crown forks, huge rear hub ( poss Alfine ) but I thought it had two or more cogs on the back aswell…And this is the weird thing…in front of the cranks slung under the frame was a casing ( that looked like it was supposed to be ) that looked like a gearbox type thing. Bike was being ridden by a bloke 50+

they showed some gearbox prototypes a few years ago

Possible leccy motor in front of the cranks?

just throwing ideas out there as I’ve seen conventional gearboxes, although with an oversized read hub but never seen anything like I saw today.

Tymbian- are you from Deddy?

Ego Kit maybe?

Saw a guy riding one in Whinlatter. He had it coz his knee’s were shot and he couldn’t pedal uphill for any length of time

@jkomo..Kings Sutton. You?

@ Pridds..that looks a bit like the gubbins,

That Kona looks like its made of Meccano 😀

May have come from the bike shop in Deddington?

This probably isn’t right, I just think it’s cool.

This definitely isn’t right but if we are talking gear box DH bikes i would love a go on one of these

Very sloppy gearchange though.

My knees get any worse I might need one of these soon lol ;-);-)
