Seen the Trocadero Fixie yet?

Interesting new concept:

[Drago]

The ones in the video aren't fixies?

What's the rationale for the hinged frame? There must surely be a purpose, but I can't fathom it.

What's interesting about it.

Gimmicky, daft, unstable, pointless are all adjectives that I might have chosen instead.

 

[Randomnerd]

Looks like fun to me.

FSVO 'new'. I'm sure this popped up last year.

Drifting, from what I remember. Or at least looking like you are.

 

[Drago]

I can't see the attraction of drifting.

 

[palinurus]

Completely farking stupid.

Want one.

 

[Milkfloat]

Chains a bit slack and the bike is more than a bit crap.

 

[wheresthetorch]

Bloody terrifying.

I suspect you might be able to play bike-football with those. Aside from that, I wouldn't want to share a road with one.

It's a wobblebike, surely? Silly, pointless, good fun. @Wobbly John of this parish built one for Hilldodger IIRC.
It's almost certainly unstealable, as they look terrifying.

 

[Old jon]

Flexible freewheeling? Aye, if I was paid to do it.

 

[gaijintendo]

I thought I had spotted something similar at 30s

But then later at 2 mins the guy picked it up and unicycled it....

Just ride your existing bike while drunk. The effect is the same, and much cheaper.
