Interesting to see back to front drops fitted. Must be to avoid complicated folding bar arrangement
Now this is a "bikes we like "thread, Airframe: really. the poster should add a disclaimer....
Great photo however.


Funny to carry a bare (air) frame on an airframe. Accidental irony..



sorry, but that's not an airframe bike. it's a bridgestone picnica...

Tyrell CSI
Carbon stays, Al frame
Made in Japan
A cool $3,000 for a complete bike with Ultegra 11-speed where I live.

That's an interesting bike. Compact with ERTO 355 tires.

$1400 USD. But with a 85 kg weight limit.

That tyrell folded reminds me of the outline of a folded helix.

For those of you who like minivelos you can check out this Thai thread.

Lots of bikes the Western world would never see on the road.

Abu Mahendra 01-31-16 04:53 AM

Does it come with separable brake and shifter cables? Or is it only appropriate for a single speed with coaster brake?

With that chainring, that thing's got legs...i was in touch with a Thai shop just the other day, and asking for the price of a 62T ring. They wanted about $250...i am still trying to get my paws on a 62T TA Specialites job for my custom build...

i didn't see a completed build anywhere to confirm, but i'm going to assume it has brakes and gears...

Sorry to post my own bike but I love the look of my BMW Q5 "folder". The rear suspension has a QR so the rear triangle pivots between the front forks with front wheel removed. Anti drive suspension front and rear. Rides really well due to suspension lay out.
