As a concept bike, I love it
As a production bike, I wouldn't touch it
Thing is, if I'd designed such a distinct item I'd be offering it for sale too, if no one buys one then it doesn't matter but if someone does buy one then I'd be quids in.
It's obvious to anyone that the way you make money is buy a container of far east made frames but thats no fun is it? Machining your own frame is fun.
How on earth is a headtube "too short"? Oh no, I can't get my bars high enough, if only there were some way to raise them.
frame requires a clumsy and ugly solution to get bars to 'normal' height.
should imagine there's a (probably imperceptible) stiffness loss as a result also.
looks it's not a fundamental point, just a bit of an ugly feature that shows a lack of thought (imo etc.)
Stiffness in the headtube is the least of your worries after what they've done to the swingarm!
A bit like when the media focussed on Bin Laden's porn stash, worrying about the waste from the machining process is missing the headline news - that the application of a machined I-beam to a structural member subject to torsional loads is fundamentally wrong.
your moustache is fundamentally wrong.
? The lack of?
i've even offered to help them reduce their machining costs.as in, i'm totally serious, e-mail in profile, etc.
Are you going to machine it for them or just supply them with free arrogance? 😉
😆
