Willehond Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 LOL! Yes indeed, that is a stock standard Canyon frame (even with Canyon cable frame protectors!). They just stuck a valve (Schrader of all things...) on the top tube. If they ever did that I am pretty sure they would not stick a valve on the top tube. Pretty good story though. VERY believeable. Put away your wallets boys, it's still just a joke.

Sorry, Thys you are unfortunately going to feel a bit deflated and I don't want to burst your bubble, but the Hindenbike is still just a dream...

LeTurbo Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Reminds me of the "kinetic" bike of the 70s or thereabouts. It compressed air in the tubes while you pedalled, so you could release it on the uphills. Oh, wait, found the reference ... http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA/checkered_flag.htm
udxcob Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I see the bikeradar article was posted on the 1st of April...hmmmm
