A bitcoin bike, proof of work doesn't mean it's a good use of it.

Looks like it was literally thrown together from a bit of odd bits left in a corner.
Of course, other opinions are available.

Looks like an art installation thats lost its way. I'd imagine a good few hipster gaffs would like to have it. It'd fit right in the beards and skinny latte.

I wondered that so I read the blurb. Bits of the engine came from an early BMW car but didn't quite fit any of the newer bike engine bits. The builder spent large amounts of time and effort making them fit.

Top ends from a 700cc twin cylinder BMW car, on a BMW bike crankcase.
A project can be difficult, without being very useful or interesting.

No,no,no. Lots of clever work,but the end result is gopping.
This is a proper R69S,made back when BMW were a cut above in quality terms.

I don’t think these hipster curiosities are worth a thread each.
There is an “Interesting Bikes” thread.
