idrive Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Its stupid!! .........Imagine cleaning it after the Emperor MTB race!!!!
bustthesickness Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 its a road frame. click the link. its not so stupid
CScriba Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 wonder how much it weighs...and if its actualy rigid or stiff, ... ?
rad006 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I WANT I WANT....Just wish the Fork could be the same design
hot stuff Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 That is soooo cool, the close ups are great
Johan Bornman Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 I think this is the world's first spaceframe bike.Lets have a fight to see whether this is really a spaceframe or if our existing bikes are spaceframe designs as is.
MAXX Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry guys dont think it will work, where will the sponsors put there logos. It also looks crap.
Minion Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Lets have a fight to see whether this is really a spaceframe or if our existing bikes are spaceframe designs as is.It's a fractal spaceframe...
slowtwitch Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 We'll get more engineers riding bikes!!!
Delgado Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Read somewhere that folk are looking into making frames from paper!!
AndreZA Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Read somewhere that folk are looking into making frames from paper!! paper is made from wood and they are already our there. I like the other trellis design more then this one. This one is to structured/organised.
svenm Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 wont wind resistance be sick on that frame? just some1 with 2 much time at hand. ive also seen an image about a new concept for car wheels about 2 years back that looks pretty stupid, i dont see it on car today. so i dont think this is the fuutre design.
GoLefty!! Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 existing bikes are space frames. whether carbon, tiatnaium, stel or aluminium, they are all spoace frames. The monocoque bicycle chassis ever to see production was the Lotus. definition of a space frame is a structure whereby cojoined tubularload bearing elements are assembled into a loading bearing structure for the purpose of carrying a load. definition of a monocoque is a load bearing structure where no tubular elements are required for the assembly to carry the load. The skin of the structure is load bearing.

The skin's purpose is two-fold - to provide certain aerodynamic properties just like a helicopter's skin and, to provide structural rigidity.
