My concept bike for Cannondale [not mtb, but still retro]

[stevet1]

Got to say I love it and totally get the kind of person who would buy that. One thing that looks odd to me is the seatpost - there seems very little supporting it, can it have a bridge from the mudguard or would that spoil the clean lines?

I just proofed and improved on the english of the oval integrate

I basically rewrote it so it flowed better, worded it better, but did not change what you were saying.

I have it in word format and will pm you with it as soon as i get it just so.

& yes, I had nothing better to do, and it may improve my english too.

Ill work on the other pages too.

@cyfa2809: I am a fan of the modularity of the bicycle, but here it was a decision to go for another level of
modularity. It is a very true point that it will make replacing parts, when broken, more expensive. However
I tried to keep the 'wear' parts standard; it still has some shimano parts underneath but with their own
'jacket'. The idea is that these 'jackets' won't wear, only the standard parts.

@ stevet1: that was actually one of the difficult decisions. A small bridge would structurally be better, but
messes up the lines.

@ bwhsh8r: that's great. thanks. I do speak english, but those details in grammar you can never learn as
a foreigner.

just some points on the practicalities of the design

rear mudguard could do with being longer as the dirt would flick up and spoil the the owners hair - it wouldnt harm the flow of the rear stays

spoked wheels? They bend, snap, corrode etc, any thoughts on composite maintenance free style wheels?

As for diction, punctuation etc, NEVER ask an Englishman - we are all crap.

Great bit of product design - I really like it. Well done.

oh, no dont take it that way, I can tell that you speak english very well, its very very minor stuff! the cannondale piece will take a little work, which i will do after class as i have to go now, but its definitely understandable, just not ideal. (your english is definitely way better than what a translation website would spit out.)

glad to help

i realy like that..... real breath of fresh air for a concept... looks great... realy like the drivetrain, the idea of hiding all the hydralics away is wicked too, is it geared or singlespeed?

That looks great, good job.

Bet Cannondale were well chuffed they had you as a student. Guess you are well set up for a job now somewhere, that was good project.
