Cheers all, enjoy!
It's that fast the saddle needs goggles on it ๐
still not clear on the extra boost chamber, maybe it came with stickers on it
Well it's definitely distinctive!!
Probably held together by all those stickers!
It's just mad...it has an oil or air tank...no shimano airlines system and I can't see what else the tank would be for? The rear brake 'floating' set up would I think totally lock the rear triangle=no suspension.
Oh and don't get my started on the forks or drivetrain...how many crowns, how many chain rollers?!
WTF??!!!
Look forward to seeing that being pushed up numerous hills!!
Half an hour with a hairdyer to take the stickers off and it wouldn't look so bad!
I like it and I'm going to bid on it! ๐
Definitely needs more stickers ๐
Three crowns, and an extra floating brake arm which can't actually be connected. W. T. F.
EDIT: one of them is attached to the swingarm, so doesn't actually do anything.
He's got a kona stab gearbox bike for sale as well. I don't think it's meant to be, but it is.
They're very, very clean
Was the top brake link straight at some point in time???
Bizarre... I just don't understand why anyone would build such a thing!
The Patriot is mad, but the Stab is batshit mental!
The Kona is even crazier!!
Also, imagine the pedal kickback on that stab!
At least it comes with sensible size rotors for its weight! ๐
edit: too slow.
WTF is all that stuff on his bikes? The tank, the links to the rear brake, the extra chain and pulley on the Kona?
YETIboyJAY - Memberno shimano airlines system and I can't see what else the tank would be for?
NOS!
Wheels look a bit small...
Reminds me of this:
WTF are those forks???
....and why do they have V-Brake bosses?! ๐
The ones on the Orange are Shivers I think but surely the stanchions are too long?
The brake lever on the giant. Child's scooter?
Ha ha, all three of the bikes he's selling are ridiculous!!
the Giant has a tie rod to the back axle too and has some sort of hub gear.
Surely the guy would list details of the bikes if they were legit?
I'm half tempted to buy them just to confuse people with at Cwmcarn ๐
Surely the guy would list details of the bikes if [s]they were legit[/s] he wasn't madder than a sackful of angry badgers?
FTFY
The crown and stanchions on the Giant look like Manitou Minutes (never seen any with that much travel though) while the lowers appear to be Rock Shox ๐ฏ
If they were cheap it would be worth a bid or two just for an interesting parts bin ๐
Barking!!
Think he may have a sticker fettish
I keep coming back here to click the links to look at them again.
Are these bits he has bolted to them some inventions from the last 10-15 years that really didn't take off as they were rubbish?
One person could not end up with three similar bonkers stolen bikes
?
Pure maddness
I just don't understand the forks. What is going with the stanchions?!
Daft question but is it just the size of the forks creating an optical illusion or is the front wheel smaller than the rear on the Giant?
I just don't understand [s]the forks[/s] any of it. What is going with [s]the stanchions[/s] bloody everything?!
Shouldn't someone ask him to explain how those extras actually work?
Half tempted to buy the Kona, dress up as a hipster and cycle it round Camden/Hackney with a totally straight face parking it next to every single speed I see.
if beauty is in the eye of the beholder,some one needs mudguards ๐
Top marks, thats proper backwoods too-many-funny-mushrooms folk-art that is!
