Is this bike worth $25?
 
Who needs "plastic" when you can have cardboard? :)

dmb2786 06-06-09 11:54 AM

I would pay more, maybe up to 100... just because its unique

I don't understand. With the exception of the Fisher I find all of those to be eyesores.

watch out for brake temp on the downhill...wwhhhooooofffff!

Don't think fenders would help that bike if it was ridden in the rain....

daven1986 06-06-09 01:22 PM
it is waterproof though :)

I like it, and would get one just for riding around town.

It would make an excellent beater for the city. And it's recyclable. :)

No cranks, no brakes, and no air in the rear tire. Wait a minute, I think I've got a bike just like that. Humm . . .

How about NO PIVOT POINT FOR THE FORK?

I think the saddle could stand to lose a few grams, but it's a fun concept.

Come on now, steering is highly overrated.

I would love to ride that thing and would pay $26 for it!

Um, I can clearly see one. It is like a big hinge front of the red sticker on the toptube.

Yeah, it'll take you straight there ;)

That saddle looks brutal.

Carton fiber! That's good.

scotch 06-06-09 08:41 PM
no way. i'd put that $25 towards this.

Randochap 06-06-09 08:47 PM
Needs a paint job ... or maybe crayon or magic marker would be appropriate.

urbanknight 06-06-09 08:48 PM
Paint the word "Cervelo" on it and it's worth $2500

No it's not. Click on the link and check out the other pictures. That's a piece of angle, not a piano hinge.
