It's okay - until you get to the back wheel ...

How much does the rider weigh? That's some serious subframe bracing/triangulation there.

Which, visually, looks like a bit of a walk.

I really like the back wheel. I don't have the skills to modify the rear wheel on my bike to look like that to either (a) not look like I've ziptied a bin-lid on there [note - my first idea was "let's zip tie a bin lid on there"] (b) not have any discs detach at speed and cut me or passing infants, kittens and nuns to pieces.

Quite like that.

Could do with a brown seat though.

It masks the horror of 'the empty triangle'. :thumbup:
