And today I did......

That Rafty is both fabulous and fugly as sin. Never heard of them and it does look like a home bodgers crazy idea and yet very cool too. I will watch with interest !

Re:

Not such a crazy idea velo, there are others who think the same.

From this thread, viewtopic.php?f=6&t=211413&start=20

Belonging to one of our own from MacRetro, mikee. The bike behind, Trimble, looks like the same crazy idea.
 
I said it was the builders crazy idea when he built the rafty as it looks homemade not the design thats crazy. Anyway the S-Bike is crazy, its weak due to no seat stays, the chainstay can and has broken on some S-bikes. The Trimble however due to glassfibre or carbon fibre is as tough as old boots and gets away without the seat stays. Note the rafty does have seat stays, perhaps the designer thought I'm not making the same mistakes S-bike made.
 
Re:

very nice! I'd love a Trimble, but they're expensive and difficult to justify to the ball and chain, the Rafty is a comparative bargain!
 
Two nice, if not different projects lads.
The Rafty is, well, different alright. Looks like a modern Trimble. The built one in the pic looks cool :)
