New No22 Reactor

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

What if they 3D print the custom mold? Then you get the best of both worlds. And you wouldn't have to use an exotic metal like titanium to make the molds. Instead, chose a 3d printing material that can be easily recycled, so you can recycle old custom molds into new custom molds.

You still need to manual lay it up, bake it at a high energy cost, clean it up and you can't recycle it after it is no longer wanted. Carbon bikes as we know them are dead. The dinosaurs are no longer cost effective to extract out of the earth to make them.

I don’t disagree with the sensible comments above that question the value compared to carbon, but I love it! An aero speed demon in gray tone is completely my jam.

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?

My question is how many can ride in the bed of a cyber truck and how much top end speed is lost?

[Seramount]

not hating it, but at my age, I'd have serious difficulity not being self-conscious about piloting such a 'cutting edge' device.

guess my vintage self just feels more comfortable riding a vintage bike...

The look is polarising (but honestly not far off anything modern and carbon) and I'm sure it will cost a bit (but really, most custom titanium stuff is similar to than top tier carbon).

My question is how much does that thing weigh.

[jimcav]

but this thing would look at home on the back of a cyber truck

Just like the cyber truck, I can appreciate the tech that is there, but not the looks.

I was just reading about cold spray 3D printing, some really cool stuff I know little about (not saying that is the type of 3d printing used here), so do like the tech involved.

Lovely, 22-20 = 2, as in #2. All these years of people telling me I was wasting my money making my bike as light as possible and now this crap.

FTS.

holy smokes that's what that is? i thought it was carbon fiber.

ok, that's pretty slick.

Awesome that No22 is pushing tech advances and trying new things.

It’s not my cup of tea if I’m considering a Ti bike, I prefer skinny tubes.
