Crazy tubing
« on: April 21, 2006, 02:13 PM »
New school bikes all look very similar, but BITD designers were pushing the boundaries and tubing was going everywhere!!

So what were some of the craziest OS frames when it came to geometry?

Might aswell start with the classic old boy which started it all off with Waxin's lovely Quadangle

No idea how to post pics yet, but for my money it had to be the CW Racing Lightning Bolt or the MCS with the dual rear dropouts, both way out there in terms of design.

Kuwahara did make 1 good freestyler, the Exhibitionist  :daumenhoch:

i've got a pic of a very strange Peregrine freestyler in a mag from the 90's, i'll scan it & post the pic if i can find it ;)

Moose - Where do you keep finding the Free Agents? With the forks as well. Nice. All you need is a set of the bars.

Cool collection there James :daumenhoch: Absolutely love your Vector, I wish I'd have gone with white on mine now. Still, hopefully it will look better when I get some decals  :knuppel2: ;)  It looks a bit sad without them :(
