My BIRDY Rohloff
9.9kg, not bad for a 14spd IHG birdy. :)

Do you actually ride your bikes? Or just spend a pile of cash building and taking gear porn pics of them to brag in a bunch of My (Insert Bike Name Here> threads?

The pictures are not up to date. You can see the original crankset is still there. As shown, total weight should be 1kg more. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...43cb95e066.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...90c48d07ff.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...10eee9de2f.jpg |

I do ride my bikes, and actually these are mine but some of them are used by my family. We almost don't use our cars any more.��

Weight for the sake of weight is like art for the sake of art - not really practical. To use a bike in real life you need a bell, strap to hold folded bike together, lights, fenders, rack, bottle holder, other luggage provisions, chain guard etc. It is hard to imagine using one of those for art bikes in real life.
But this bike is not for practical use. :p |

you have a very square limited vision of what bike is.

For me half the fun is building the bike. It’s making the bike work for me, not me fitting to the mould of the bike. So, GTA, you did a great job of creating a bike for you. Also enjoyed the photos, so thanks.

Everyone has his opinion and usage of a folding bike. I like folding bikes because they are not like road or mountain bikes which are somehow limited by "building bike equations". You can put so many of your personal ideas to your folder, and in the end it becomes unique. I do enjoy doing this. Cheers~ |
18" wheels?
|
@ GTA Which one you prefer for use / riding the FSIR (which you can make it lighter) or the Birdy? cheers
