London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

he well set the scene,it look like somthing out of country life magazine.......the porch not the bike:)

One of my favourate recent views.

With cool top tube protector.

i would feel like lightning on a moyer

"Zero Bike" is designed by Makota Makita and Hiroshi Tsuzaki from Tokyo, Japan. The bike is a hubless, spokeless and very lightweight bicycle powered by cranking magnetic pedals which rotate the tires suspended between other magnets. It has won a design excellence award by the Industrial Design Society of America.

that is amazing

Nice fixed wheel in my ideal workshop ...!!!

Not the Condor workshop then?

i dont know about porn but it is intresting......well i do know about porn:)

this is the blog it came from http://bicycledesign.blogspot.com

its not all fixed wheel but there is some really nice designs on there(sorry if it has already been posted before)

Thats amazing!

Me likey

+1 that is a tough looking bike

This is a crazy idea. Future aadvances in magnet technology! They would have to be some serious advances. This type of things winds me up.

You would have to have a control sytem in place to get that bike to work, the power needed, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh crazy fucking desgners

and wear some antimagnetic cup on yer jewellery you never know what the electromagnetic effect would be...

that bike would be perfect for bike polo no darn spokes to get in the way and a nice space under the bottom bracket for those trick shots

yes but how would i stop the ball from getting in then?

ah the goalkeeper would use 48 hole hubs the electrobike would be a strikers / wingers bike and you could shove your mallet through and tackle dribble on the other side of your bike no worries

I'd keep sliding off the front of it with a saddle/toptube like that.. and good luck keeping those rims true on London streets..

Less mechanical resistance.

If it was yellow it could be one of those TRON bikes.

ahh Tron, sometimes i wish life was more like tron

Your life isn't like Tron? You need a better dealer.

never heard of these before looks nice

if only the decals were matching the wheels

it would then be sweet as cherry pie

ultra track

Yeah I know what the idea behind it is but there are massive problems getting it to work and even if you did there are many other problems with the concept.

Less mechanical resistance? But what about the magnetic resistance! Magnets powerful enough to hold that front wheel in place are going to cause some seriously weird effects which would probably either stop it from rotating ever or make it permanently spin like a bastard. I'm not up enough on physics to work out which way it'd go tho :|

He's gonna need a protector for his top tube protector... I wouldn't wanna get that thing scratched!

Spin like a bastard is closer. Though there is drag and resistance from the road, tyre, etc... so it won't spin forever.

It will make the bike heavy though. Enough magnetism to avoid contact when given the combined weight of rider and bike will not be light.

I agree with TheBrick, it won't work because of too many technical issues. Great concept nonetheless though.

... That's better!!

all those technical issues fade away why don't they just build all bike wheels with spokes it seems so logical

heres one for aidan

claudette ? maybe claud and claudette could get it together ;-¬ cheap source of bike parts !

haaa,thanks julian,,,,,na clauds gay:)

like one of those old camp guys you should give claud a cravatte

haa yeah im looking for one:)

this is a sweet looking bike i am sure it hangs outside the jon snow occasionally
love that stickered up look
