Very cool, how do these ride?

 

[EmperorDark]

drives like totally drunk...
i love it... :xmas-big-grin:

 

[andyfloyd82]

That is a cool looking bike, however there can be no way that its stiff enough to ride on trails. It looks like the bike would flex more than stretch armstrong.

[losvizzero]

very nice,i like it soo much!!

 

[TSC.]

Aesthetically that is pretty damned perfect. Loving the half radial rear wheel as well.

Couple of questions for you:

Did you machine the Syncros clamp holes from round to square???

And are those Ringle "road" quick releases?

 

[EmperorDark]

The quick-release hubs are original RINGLE.
The seat clamp also.
Only the clamping lever on the seat clamp is BICI.

The SYNCROS titanium with the customized clamping head is around 5 grams lighter than an original model... ;-)
