Loopybike for sale!

[loopybike]

Hi

I have decided to sell my "loopybike"
I've had my fun with it, now it needs to move on as I have another project looming and I need the space and funds.

Description :
Hand made stainless Steel frame.
The geometry was based on a Carlton International road bike so it rides really nice.
Coaster brake
Hand made saddle
Leather stitched handlebars
New wheels/tyres/tubes
New crankset

This bike has just won "Best Bike" at VW Action!

Your chance to buy a totally unique bicycle. With over 400 hours work, I will never make another!!

Collection from Telford

I want £400

Any offers?

I was considering training to do the Etape Loch Ness in costume, with a bucket on the bars and in an approximate clown outfit (wig on helmet, polkadot jersey, investigate a red nose, sprsy paint my bike some fun colours... Or some less creepy, but amusing get up) to raise money for Macmillan Nurses.

I saw this and immediately wanted to respray each hoop a different colour!

Is it expected to live in a cafe or museum or on the road? What are your wishes for it?

Also, is it advertised elsewhere?

That wine rack of yours appears to only accept very short bottle of wine.

I could possibly convince the OH that it's a rack for all those scented candles she has.

Hi
Used on a charity ride sounds great fun!
If you did buy it, it would be yours do do with whatever you want. It was built to be ridden though.

I have it advertised on another forum but so far I've resisted ebay/gumtree, I don't need to sell it THAT badly! Lol

Please tell me more about the charity ride

@gaijintendo
Actually , I can't think of a better use for this bike.
If you're serious, I'm sure I would be VERY flexible on the price......

 

[loopybike]

Well, as serious as you can be riding round Scotland dressed as a clown.... Lol

 

[gaijintendo]

I'll PM you, but the gist is, I couldn't even safely store it

….obviously it's a Hack of course.

This link should take you straight to it:

Not sure why I posted that particular link it was early morning.
However on the weekly aired GCN show presenters judge as to weather a photo that has been sent in to be either a Hack(negative/Bodge(positive).
I would say Loopy is defiantly a hack.
Though sometimes it's just clever ideas that are sent in like this one.

 

[loopybike]

Well I couldn't see how to enter it in to the hack or Bodge, so I've just posted a picture on their "visitors posts" page
