Bikes: Diamond Back Sorrento (Converted to commuter) and a fixed gear from unknown origins (the only thing I know about it is the saddle is Origin 8, everything else is a mystery.)

Is that real? There's no way that's real. I'm stunned. I'm truly stunned. I...ugh... bike envy flaring.... disbelief to greedy needy ratio growing disproportionate to my wallet... MUST HAVE!!!! MUST HAVE!!! MUST HAVE!!!!

Real. It was a design competition and the video is the winning team's submission. The URL is a parts list and instructions for assembly.

not exactly real in the sense of it being a product/prototype for the market. just a one-off design by a special effects competition.

If it accidentally fell on someone's head, you'll be sued. (Maybe Germany is not that lawsuit-obsessed )

I don't want that lock. I want that bike.
