TT riders are all about being aerodynamic so with such small wheels....

Technically this is a minivelo; I think it's awesome.

ahhhh. that's awesome.



reminds me of this stead from those crazy dudes at peacock groove:



they're the same guys who made this sick cargo bike- love it so much:

More peakocks..

I think I like these better than the other one..

Oh, man, this is what I'd luv to have. A fat tire minivelo,...

Any ideas on what rims and tires those are? What's the hub width?

smallwheeler

the tires are vee mission command 20x4. rims look like ridewill rims, but could be anything. hub spacing is probably 135 front and 170 rear.

Still Pedaling

I've been wondering, as of late, what it would be like to ride a bike with fat tires like that. One thing that bothers me riding my Brompton is that with such small and narrow wheels, the ride can be a bit rough unless the pavement is as smooth as glass. Unfortunately where I live, they are experimenting with new road surfaces that would cause the fillings to pop out of your mouth. I can imagine that with these huge tires, the ride must be quite smooth. I've seen a number of guys riding mountain bikes with these large tires. I must stop one of the riders when I can and ask him/her what the ride feels like. Too expensive to keep going back and forth to the dentist.

The fly in the ointment is the lack of gearing. It's a fixie, it seems.

Could just as well be a 1 speed freewheel. it Does Have disc brakes after all ..

Second identical wheel Up Front? wheel swap for 2nd speed?






./.

smallwheeler

hehe. pretty obviously a single speed. also, you're right again (of course), the rear and front spacing are 135, hence, the rear hub used up front. your idea is a great one. i'm sure the builder thought of it but, for whatever reason, didn't add a cog to the front wheel..

brooks 150 anniversary limited edition tokyobike: it's a nice bike but, i think they blew it on this copper powdercoat. it just comes off looking like "ash pink". if actual copper plating was too expensive, they should have just gone with a classic black.

ttakata73

I'm with Abu, it's a fail.
Even a brown frame would look better.
I think copper plating is soft so scratches easy.
They should have just chromed everything.

Must be clearcoated....if it developed verdigris that could be interesting.

I like the Gulf Porsche colorway.
Too bad the graphics are so busy; I count 9 Mosso logos on this side.

I havent see my bike in this thread, a Beixo Gsus Bike shaft driven, i mount maximum tyre size on it (20 x 2.15).
I like his "mini downhill" unusual look

jur

That is the best shaft drive I have seen. What a great bike!

Zoliv77

Yeah it's cool , the geometry of the frame is really good.
In fact this mini velo has a the full sized frame, it's not common on the market.
This is a quick comparison between the Gsus, the Dahon Dash, the cannondale hooligan and is cousin yooniq.



They are not in the same boat exept for the dahon dash which is close but without the offroad capacities.

I would love to see the above Bexio in a folder. Fudge type swinging seatpost design and maybe a monoblade front fork would fold really tight with front wheel
removed.

Check out this guy touring in the 'Cold'

This is cool, but this isn't the thread to post this in. Why don't you create your own threads for these things,...

mirfi

You are correct, but thought it was more interesting that it was on 20 inch tires.

tds101 

Yes, it is interesting. But this isn't a "Bikes We Like" subject, it's about an accomplishment. And it's a pretty solid one at that. 20 inch wheels and tires means it's in the correct section of the forum.

Only by de facto.
It good to belong to a subset of a forum.
Small wheels, folding bike sect.
You are all welcome, but you can never leave.......
