Looks very nice indeed, does it tick your boxes?

If STW did one it would have the wheels of a penny farthing (one 4" fat tyre at the back and the big wheel on an 18mm tyre)
The frame would be made of wood but all the components would be carbon
There would be a 25" dropper post and have a revolutionary 1x14 gear range that required two shifters
Probably kitted out with Jones bars, a charge saddle and DMR vaults
Funny thought the same, too many cooks!
A Dandy Horse. With fat tyres, obviously.
Love it 🙂
what about this mean machine?

That German one look a bit.. Steep and tall to anyone?
It would be a good article for the mag Chips.
Can't wait for the what brakes thread 😆 .
Front - hope caliper, braided hose and with Shimano levers
Rear - a carbon rim / Maxxis tyre and a right footed teva link shoe
the Alutech one is the 2nd forum designed bike.
iirc the first was Carver.
Both looked pretty decent in the end, but started off exactly like you'd imagine... a vote to back up every single marketing thing.
I imagine ICB3.0 would be a 650b, 1x11, 150mm full suss fatbike, with long top tube geometry, head tube angle 1 deg slacker than any other slack bike, bars 1cm wider than any "injooro" bike on the market,...
I met a German chap with he first ICB at the Mega in 2013, he explained the origin as we shared a lift. It was a beautiful colour and I considered buying one on that basis alone.
too many cooks!
Or too many cocks in the case of this forum?
If stw designed a bike it would be shit, the numbers would be perfect but the ride would be ****
Its got one of those silly super extended Commencal style seat tubes. Aesthetics over function, why not just bend the top tube back up?
The Banshee Legend was designed years ago using forums and eventually potential punters as test riders. Maybe the idea isn't as new as they think it is.
I would like to see the advertising campaign. We need a great slogan, free marketing stuff ( calendar anyone?)
Binners could drape his naked body over it. 😀
I like that.. My German sucks though, any info in English anywhere? Price seems good once converted aswell.
some info in english
