Sloping top tubes are kinda funny looking. Reminds me of Langsters

looks good

Nice package ;)

The aesthetics are alright, but USD1000 for a run of the mill aluminum framed bike seems waaay overpriced to me....

But it's been developed by furniture designers. product designers, graphic designers and an advertizing agency. It's only 9.4Kg so you can display it in your living enviorment on it's specially designed wall mount.

1260g is a reasonable weight for a frame.

If the frames only 1.2, wheres the other 8.4 kg comming from? I mean ****, mid grade Al road bikes with all the extra parts weight less than that.

Wish they had better pics of the rear triangle. Those curvy stays look nice. Is that a 3t Mutant stem or just their version? Spec sheet sucks.

Are they're legs really like that?!

went to visit the designers norway says in oslo last year on a trip with my old uni, and this bike was kicking about their show room. their furniture and products are beautiful, and very cleverly conceived, but i can't say i like the bike so much. just looked generic. i can't think of many architect/furniture designer/graphic designer designed bike that have really sold. usually these are just promotional tools. didn't see anyone riding these in oslo anyway.

No, it's an advertising campaign.

OK, geez that looks messed up.

really nice legs... ;)

doesnt even look sorta real. if you thought the legs were real you need a new monitor, or glasses.

Bit worrying they left the QR lever open on the front brake caliper for the photo shoot (yellow bike).


If - and I emphasis the word "if" - I was going to spend my money on an overpriced Scandinavian bike, I'd go for one of these: http://www.netpublikationer.dk/um/5166/images/image_8-84kW_20.jpg

Is he not meant to have fore-arms?

That's some sort of tumor, isn't it?
Disgusting is all I can think of.

Re: the bikes, they don't exist as a product, do they?

All that tumor stuff is synthol, it just bloats your muscle... i don't know how it works.

Is he not meant to have fore-arms?

No, thats why i was thinking that the legs could be real, but after i saw the other pics on that bike site it didn't seem too real.

But im just proving that its not impossible.

That bike is fresh like the green yogurt in the back of my fridge.

Seat/chainstays look nice. The flat "bullhorns" look like sh*te. I kinda like the Integrated headset/stem shot. All in all... feh.

But it's been developed by furniture designers. product designers, graphic designers and an advertizing agency. .

rather than engineers. That worries me.

Hey, it could be ergonomic and functional, perfectly complementing whatever tables they sell
