I swear I saw this done somewhere, I know it has been done in wood. I just can't use a fixie bike, it is impossible for me, I don't live in a flat area and I actually want to go places on my bike. If it could be fit with a Rohloff speed hub or a Pinion Gearbox this would be usable though. It would be a very rigid bike though, maybe not the best for touring, but I'd give it a try.

Add a toothed rubber belt drive, and it could be ideal.

I like the adjustable top-tube length but otherwise this is not worth serious consideration. I doubt it's stiffness; it's weight is a major issue; its planned price-point is laughable; and above all it's butt-ugly.

it should sell about 9-12 units world wide wle

" one of the main considerations behind the design was to keep the weight down." Yet creates a MUCH heavier bike.

I agree with the TheSplund about the weight. At 30 lbs., there is no advantage over a decent "beater" which can cost about 1/2 as much. I actually think that it looks pretty interesting.

Form over function. 30 lbs isn't sooo very heavy, that's about what they weigh from Walmart. Dammit I thought this was a Canadian bike from Magnum Dynalab. That would have been interesting!

Yet another uncomfortable, hunched over, back breaking, crotch pounding bicycle.
When is someone going to apply all this high tech wizardry to a *comfortable* cruiser bike where the rider sits upright, supported on their butt?

@Gregg Eshelman: Sounds like you're looking for a recumbent.

30 lbs weigh more than my 150mm travel dual suspension enduro bike. All those fasteners to maintain. Different is good if it brings new functionality to the equation, not for the sake of being different. These are bikes not clothes.
