Desain Sepeda Le Batard

I mentioned “Le Batard” custom bikes in an beforehand post. The B2O bamboo bike that I mentioned in that column will be launched in February as a bound copy alternation of 50. Le Batard custom cycles additionally has a brace of added bikes in the works, which I will allotment in this post. The time balloon “enhanced version” (pictured here) actualization a able aluminum frame. The stem, confined and levers are all custom fabricated to bout the frameset. Le Batard credibility out that the architecture of the stem, which you can see in this detail shot, is a accolade to Rene Herse.
The “air-bike” is a baby folding bike abstraction by French artist Sylvio Beraka. The prototype, which was fabricated by Le Batard, has an aluminium frame, 24″ wheels, bifold kevlar drive belt and a SRAM P5 hub with a coaster brake. You can download a pdf about the abstraction from Beraka’s website if you are absorbed in account more. At aboriginal glance, the air-bike ability admonish you of that jruiter flat bike that has been all over the web lately. Certainly, the two bikes accept a agnate actualization due to their ultra
abbreviate wheelbases and addition positions anon over the rear wheel. That charge be a trend, because I noticed one added burghal bike with a absolutely abbreviate wheelbase recently. OK, maybe that aftermost one is a bit earlier than the added two. It does attending like it would accomplish a abundant wheelie apparatus admitting (hence the name Bronco). I would adulation to see a account from the backward 1800s of a ambush addition on one of those little bikes.
Speaking of old bikes, booty a attending at this accurately arced Cygnet from 1898. It looks a little bit like the Cannondale Dutchess, a actuality that Wytze (the artist of the Dutchess) mentioned afresh on Twitter afterwards seeing a account of the Cygnet. While you are at it, booty a attending at some of the added absorbing aged bikes in the Pryor Dodge Collection. I never get annoyed of attractive at bike designs from 100 years ago.
