That's actually a pretty good looking bike, all things considered.

[dustyrider]

It truly is.
However, I think I would have gone with a leather saddle myself.

Are those tubulars? :)

I can see the reviews now- "pedaling stiffness leaves something to be desired, and the wheels feel unbalanced due to the extra weight of the glue at the rim seam. Braking in the wet was not great."

Seriously, though, that was a fantastic watch. Thanks for posting.

Awesome!!!

[dustyrider]

Based on the wheel fabrication shots it would seem that they must be tubies.

I really want to see more of the "transmission" as he calls it, otherwise known as drivetrain. I don't think he had gears in fact with just a front brake I'm guessing it's a fixie!

The nice aobut the carboard this guy is using is that is a reinforced one, is practicaly like a darn wall you can even stand over a sheet and nothing will happen because is reinforced with this honey comb thing inside. Even they sell the same tihng but with CF outside.

You dont want to lay carbon? buy the honey comb reinforced version of it, glue it, done.

Very cool. Will this take over the bamboo market?
