Big Kona fan, but somehow I’m not convinced

Where’s that ‘aarrgghh my eyes!’ thread?

someone’s gone a bit OTT with the tip-ex!

Why has it got so many of everything?

At first I thought it was electric, then I saw the other side – the chain routing is somewhat extravagant…

Wow.

Love that tbh. LOGOS! CHAINS! Er, back to front ROTORS?

Gas strut chain tensioner, fine.

Gas strut brake arm (x2), WTF?

Why does it have the remains of some Acera front Rapidfire embedded in the drivetrain area?

Er…Dunlop?!?!

Oh I’ve just noticed the seat post?

Ah come on lads don’t be harsh it’s ‘only’ £1,600 😯

Busy!

Cables are too long, I’m out.

The irony being the non DMR pedals

I don’t understand…..

Are there 2rear brake calipers?

Paired rear brakes on one rotor – that’s going to get toasty. What on earth is the drivetrain, too?

I think you’d need an engineer & a psychologist to work that bike out!

Being sold by Cash Generators ?!?!?

How are those brake struts attached? Looks like the frame’s got bosses for them?!

‘Feel free to ask questions’ LOL

I thought the “24 x Clickshift Gears” was a mistake but on closer inspection it looks like what I thought was an electric motor is in fact a hub gear.

There is definitely some crazy genius going on here.

Southampton – hmmmmm

second thoughts, there’s no way I can sneak that one into the fold !
(WCA’s garage always looks half empty in his pics though 😉 )

Is it wrong that i would love to have a test ride on that.
Would be fascinated to see how it works

….

What…the…?

What’s with the gas strut hanging from the seatclamp? Why have two rear brake calipers? Then there’s the gearbox…

Oh and the crank arms have been drilled too.

What’s with the gas strut hanging from the seatclamp?

suspension telemetry, obvz

Is there a weight limit on those plastic 3d printed cranks?

Does that say drop off or knock off on the forks?

Handlebar end caps don’t match…deal breaker for me!

Look on the plus side, you could get a massive shopping basket on the front.

First question being…why?

I’ve just noticed the stickers on the fork sliders. Not a problem if the forks only have an inch of travel.
This bike just keeps on giving.

There are no words…

I think you’ll find there are lots of words, plastered all over it

24 ‘click’ gears?
An xt rear mech all cabled up with a single speed cog. Then some kind of internal cannondale esque drive train on the front which also is cabled up but looks like it’ll just change the gear ratios……
Sooo many wrong things going on it makes my brain hurt.
Only thing i can say is WTF

My brain hurts looking at that!

The bottom gas strut on the brake link thingy – isnt the pivot going to hit the rear triangle if it moves forwards?

Forget 650b+.
This my friends, is the future.

Is there a bike underneath all that chintz?!

I really can’t tell!

I can’t stop looking at it 😯

The poster behind the bike 😆

Although it’s looks aren’t for everybody the amount of engineering that’s gone into it is intriguing. All the mods look to have been done pretty well, if they work is a different matter !
