Also, Orange bike with Purple shoes?

He needs Gok,.. badly..

That aside.. kinda snazzy idea, the bike, but it looks like it'd not be that stable without some serious engineering..

inspired by the handling of a Kirk bike probably

(yes i own one)

bloody students
he needs to get a job

and a hair cut

and a shave


weren't like that in my day you know


bloody young'uns

I see he's one of those really clever students who haven't grasped how brakes and gears work. :roll: Or has he just not thought of a way to engineer it with cables...

 

[Easy_Rider]

Well ive just searched the patents to see if i can get some idea of how it works and its not there yet, so must be pending or not applied for.

Will it pass the new CE stiffness requirement?

 

[IDB1]

Securing all the bike's components within the lock was his aim in creating the new bike.

What components??

Unless he's stuffed the brake levers, cables, arms and pads in there too. . . :?

 

[mikee]

pretty obvious how it works
frame segments have a cable running thru them ,you tension the cable and
they compress the segments into each other
bit like a necklace really
