Bionic man Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Just for dylankeyter, I know you asked for these photos 2 months ago, seems I am not only slow on a bike.I haven't managed to break it yet but will continue trying.Ride comfort is excellent (I have a bionic back after all and need some comfort on the trail)ENJOY THE PICS
Johan Bornman Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Classic example of Form BEFORE Function in those wheels. I pondered over the design for a few minutes and then slapped my forehead (after letting go of the mouse). It's a Mercedes mascot that. Three-pointed star and all. Perhaps I'm too harsh, form does follow function - look at that curved downtube that seems to have no purpose when fully extended but in its folded position it makes sense. Transformers are great fun. I've got a Giant that folds up like that and it travels all over the show with me. Although mine isn't a Merc, it does have nifty folding pedals.
gungi Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 my dad wiped out on one of those... had fun telling the wife that he crashed a merc:)

[/quote'] Hi JB, folding pedals in storage and the bike has taken some nasty falls and still going strong, wheels are also surprisingly strong and still run true. bike might look wierd but is as functional as any mid range MTB(even at 16kg)
Bionic man Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 16Kg WTF!!!!!!!!! Again I can take the strain, when I am in the Eastern Cape again, i will MAYBE let you have a ride but only if I can ride yours.
Bionic man Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 How much for the wheels? NOT FOR SALE - do you also want to be ripped off, read the previous posts, no one on the Hub seems to appreciate wierdness. Anyway, the bike is mine and I ride her proudly.
