I Stumbled across this article on Gizmodo about a folded sheet-metal bike frame: light, stiff, strong, and inexpensive:
I can't decide if I like the idea or not. I like bike weirdness, but that thing is fugly. But I think it might turn into something cool.
They have a Kickstarter page, and I'm thinking of giving 'em a little money, just because I like the novelty of the idea (and because I like the amateurish video on the Kickstarter page. C'mon! Paper cutout guys on pencils, for heaven's sake!).
But I ain't ridin' one until they get prettier. Even with paint on that thing... well, it would be analogous to makeup on a warthog.
See the company page here.
