New No22 Reactor

[AngryScientist]

Wow, No22 continues to push the boundaries.

This thing looks wild!

What is that RD situation all about?

Further proof that an aero-seeking cyclist fool and his money are soon parted.

I also applaud No. 22's efforts at innovation in ti frame design though much prefer a more classic look.

I agree. I love the look of 'classic' No 22s. Let titanium be titanium.

I tend to think that their innovation is pushing them into areas that are better served by Carbon manufacturing than 3D printing every last thing. And I am not a carbon fan myself.

It's inevitable.

The luddite in me wonders about the structural integrity of 3D printed plast . . . er . . . carbon fiber. Sunday's ride had me going down a hill at 49.8mph and a failure of a 3D printed plast . . . er . . . carbon fiber bicycle at that speed would, well, um, not be fun.

Just to be clear, this bike is 3D printed titanium with a filament wound carbon fiber seat tube.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Now I feel like a luddite with a side of stupid.

I'm in if they let me 3d print a matching Wald basket for the front.

All jokes aside, cool bike even if I am absolutely not the client.

Like a lot of what No. 22 does, this doesn’t appeal to me. Why do they put a little piece of metal at the end of their “own” made in Asia forks?

Because I like to run other people's business for them, I think they should just concentrate on reducing the 16 week lead time quoted on the website. When that’s fixed, do crazy finishes and 3D printing.

Innovative and nice, but my neck hurts just looking at that thang....

[wallymann]

can No22 just cut out a portion of a frame damaged in a shunt, 3D scan the damaged area, and 3D print a custom Ti patch to be welded in?

Having seen a number of No.22 bikes IRL, I have to admire the attention to detail, but dey ugly af.

I want one of these really bad. Can't afford a "regular" no22 much less this, but I do really like it.
