Looks like preying mantis to me..
Gets eaten after sex the male.. what a way to go..
A piece of art..if nothing else.
What was the weight of these things, ride ??

I don’t know a lot about them but they have their fans. Think they ride pretty well.

One of the very early frames too with that shock mount

It was the precursor to these guys, below. That was before they realized that a human operator would be unreliable.



I'd like to own it, but it's "pickup only".
Perhaps one of you could get it for me?
If you know me you'll know that all favors are repaid handsomely.
Would it be so bad if another gem was repatriated to the States?
Thanks in advance.

Stop it..
You're incorrigible..

Here's a pic for posterity, so viewers can see what we're referring to after the auction link expires.
I definitely detect a familial resemblance.

I wonder if it can be operated remotely to go fetch my slippers in the morning.
I think it uses a gameboy controller.

Now THAT Was a Bike: Whyte PRST-1 - Pinkbike

Twenty years ago, Jon Whyte and Adrian Ward resolved the negative effects of brake dive and fork trail while they were marooned in Asia by a massive typhoon. Their novel creation was named after Preston, Wallace and Gromit's robot dog.

A bit of history attached..
For posterity..

Ya, it's like a terminator dog from Cah-lee-forn-ya.
"Feed me, take me for a valk, and pick up my poop if you vant to live!"

Sure, I laugh now, but just wait 'til they mount a gun turret on it. Then we're all doomed.
.........................?! Uh-oh! I think I just wet myself!



Thanks for the link to the other auction, but seller won't ship to USA. Apparently there a lot of them still out there, so perhaps this is God's way of telling me I have too many bikes.

.....or that I use more emojis than a man my age should be using....
