Gasping Posted July 13, 2010 Share ok weed - but did you untie the bike ? Nice shortening of the Hub Nic Slowbee, but would the first part of Tumbleweed not be more appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammajoor Posted July 14, 2010 Share does it have a derailieur and why ? Mellow, it is a single speed, that is a chain tensioner, not a dérailleur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Luke. Posted July 14, 2010 Share Original idea, but I don't see why it's 'more secure'. Maybe in Leicester one D Lock is sufficient for a weird-ass looking bike like this, but in London anything sexy looking and you need at least two locks, and even then you're lucky if someone doesn't jump out of a van with a pair of bolt cutters or car jack and liberate it.

Lucky Luke. Posted July 14, 2010 Share I guess the fact that the bike looks odd is extra security - it's going to be a bit tougher for the thief to sell once they've nicked it. A Brompton would probably be more handy if you want something that's easy to pack into boots and carry on trains. It lacks the street cred of a single speed, but then I think this bike has pretty much flushed any street cred down the loo with the whole bendy frame thing.
