That’s a confusing but also amazing bike!

Frame and fork is lovely
Potential great build once you’ve stripped off all the weird shit
but Seattle collection only

I think I'd get seasick riding that! Nice tubes though!

I just really want to know the story behind that build.

I can sort of get some muppet bolting all sorts of odd tat to something comparatively cheap and ubiquitous like an LTS 5 or a Super V 400 in a misguided effort to “upgrade” but I mean.. to a Boulder Ti with Lawills!?

Someone made a very definite and informed build decision there, once.. then.. well.. at some point in the intervening years.. the proverbial wheels came off..

U.S. folks feel much more free to express individual inclinations, independent of fashion or coolness.
Swings and roundabouts innit.

Loving the mad scientist vibes of that. Anyone else thinking pedal driven moon buggy?

Doesn't look completely insane. Flex stem for trail chatter, fork for big stuff. Probably a similar story on the back.

Whether it worked like that is uncertain, but I bet it was something like the thinking process. Someone just wanted to be very comfy.

I’m disappointed that the saddle doesn’t have springs. He’s missed an opportunity there.

Reckon they prob had some injury issues to warrant all that sus set up.
