Is it possible that it was supposed to be a tri-bike and they just forgot the pursuit bars? That's my only guess.

The Machete Pro is even better:

Nothing says "pro" like internal cable routing, no bottle cage mounts and a kickstand!

Does anyone know what they are actually asking for these bikes? They are amazing.

Read the Amazon reviews. They are hilarious.

"It's hard for me to express just how much I adore the fine craftsmanship and high quality components that went together into making this bike. I call her Machete, because that's what it says on the top tube and again on the seat tube where there is also a *****en picture of an actual machete-knife thingy. "

I don't have any complaints, but if I did have one it might be that the head tube seems to be separating from the down tube above the front fork, and kind of wiggles a bit. I'm not sure if that's bad or not, but so far there have been no problems beyond a few cracked spokes and a broken seat clamp and a snapped pedal. 5/5
:lol:

i find it hilarious that they designed the bike for internal cable routing, and then use ****ing thumb shifters on the flats with external cabling





oh and also the entire concept of that pile of nonsense.

MattoftheRocks 02-20-15 01:10 PM

I'd be inclined to call those "elbow shifters". And, aside from the absurd price, I love the prologue.

Ah ha Yes. Its how you used to shift in the areo bars with yer elbows so that you can hold machetes in yer hands

I absolutely love the clamps on the brake levers, and the shifters in the tops of the drops. I need them for my next bike.

Night_shift 02-21-15 03:13 AM

Does the guy that puts these together for the pictures not know brake hoods are meant to be in a certain region of the drops for a reason?

Whoever designed/built the bike probably doesn't even know how to ride a bike because Im sure the bars are sweetly wrapped like that for you when you buy em.

Mumonkan 02-21-15 07:05 AM

pretty sure they just mailed a box of parts and a pair of pliers to a photographer who has no experience with building bikes with a message saying "go"
