Fair enough. Not intentional. They look good but for me it is functionality. I seek an ultra low maintenance bike the Holy Grail if you like. I could post a pic of my Brompton which is hub geared but everyone knows what a Brompton looks like so I won't bother. Maybe I post a pic of my other hub geared bike when I find it or have it build which I fear will be the only option, an exponseeeve option.
..or maybe just start your posts with "Cranky's free critique:" I understand your viewpoint however if your just after a maintenance free bike then you may aswell discount the majority of machines on the market and go back to the penny farthing. After all, a lot of people whom compete or are hobby/enthusiasts enjoy tinkering with bikes stripping them down and
maintaining them!
I'm not so keen on punctures (who is) but I still use clinchers with inner tubes. What wheels do you use Cranky? If it's not full on solid rubber for
maintenance free reasons then I will be disappointed.
