That's pretty cool. No brakes, though.
(Okay, I know that in order to accomplish that bendiness, the required amount of slack in the brake cables would render them totally useless, but still....)
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Can't blow up the picture, but gotta assume it's a fixie.
I don't know why it couldn't have brakes though. The rear brake cable housing on a "normal" bike is flexible, it's only the frame that keeps it from bending. You'd have to anchor the ends a little better than they usually are, is all (or conversely, make them slip a little more). As far as the front brake - nothing different there at all.Last edited by OakLeaf; 07-12-2010 at 01:02 PM.
