CurtisRider Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I don't really get the plastic parts...surely they don't function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 So basically you need to also buy a whole load of functional parts for it to actually work. Silly idea if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 In fairness it's more of a design thing than a functional bike. As a design idea it's cool but as you say would be silly for actual riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Not so much "silly"... It just wouldn't work Solid one-piece chain, rigid plastic brake cables, disc calipers molded to the rotors, solid levers, no bottom bracket in sight (even if it WAS plastic ) and zero bearings... Just a FEW of the flaws in this "kit" Box is far deeper than needed for panels supplied, wooden waste panel on floor from cutting out the frame parts, even though they're mostly pre-cut in the picture above... Seems more like a really poorly thought out art project than even a concept - let alone product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I love it. 2 things about it 1. Creative and nice looking. The kit actually makes it a Model what does not work. Like a big toy. 2. If you buy some decent parts for it you could use it quite well. If you live in California or in any desert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 The whole idea of it is creative design, not to make a functioning bike. That "Feel Desain" page has loads of cool design stuff, not usually bike related, even simple things like chairs, park benches and similar - architecture etc... Most of it isn't designed to be used, it's just art and concepts. I actually like the built up one a few posts up, looks like it would be fun to ride!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Was this first uploaded on the 1st by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 No, 26/3. You're missing the point too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 The whole idea of it is creative design, not to make a functioning bike. But it's not 'creative design' it's completely retarded and a massive waste of resources (the stupid plastic parts that is). Oh wait, that's all these arty farty creative design types do isn't it? Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 oh my god. I'm a sucker for odd bikes, plus the fact that I love model kits I want this thing so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
