I wonder how well it actually works, though.

ha! ive been looking for this company forever.. slight derailment here.. but i walked into that shop two years ago on copenhagen.. looked around.. pretty cool.. wood bikes.. etc.. then i asked the guy where there was a computer around...i had to get an address in sweden off my email cause i was going there and didnt have the address.. the guy gives me a huff .. then with attitude and accent says "dam things are everywhere these days " or some luddite answer like that...

my thought was "really? ye olde bicycle maker hates computers? modern technology stops with the gear?" man.. i hate people like that.. in the grand history of time.. the bicycle and the computer are the same thing to me.. its all technology.. the bicycle led to the airplane.. etc.. made me hate his bicycles all of a sudden.. but oh so weird.. he has a web page..hmmm.. i remember noticing that on the card i grabbed right after he chucked me that attitude.. i should have said that "wow.. thats weird.. then whats this web address for? is this where you talk about the evils of computers? or sell your crappy bike? "

sorry.. rant over.. that chainguard is so super ugly.. youd have to be wearing a boda bag full of chianti and antique wire rimmed specs to use it... but i love the idea of a super nice chainguard.. something like and old schwinn with the bike name on it.. orange crate.. lemon peeler.. etc

edit: on second thhought.. maybe they are cool after all http://www.sogreni.dk/Images/the_mountaingoat_stor.jpg

puleezee... ha.... they shoulda called that one the burning man..omg.. they are so wacky, crazy AND original!
