Super Commuter

[I like Skol]

I edited it a few seconds after I posted.

I thought so but when I spotted your addition about the rack eyes quoted in my reply I went back up page to the earlier post and screen grabbed the pre-edited version still there . I think there may be a flaw in the space time continuum opening up.....

Still haven't worked out this bit of the blurb, any ideas?

With fully-integrated lighting and mudguards that double up as luggage racks, it’s everything a modern commuting bike should be

Maybe they are saying the mudguard strut is suitable to hang a pannier from. Maybe custom luggage?

Wouldn't life be easier if you kept the Croix as is and bought a new flat bar? Cheaper too.

I'm under a strict one in one out policy by Mrs Benb at the moment!

I'd get rid if I were you!

Haha, she has her uses.
I have 3 bikes, so I'm not too hard done by.

Nice. Is that a concept, or is it for sale?

It is for sale and I would like one too.

Who's going to pull the trigger first?

Who's going to pull the trigger first?

1. I can't see where the frame splits to replace the belt.
2. They need to clarify the rack situation.

Does look great though.

It's really neat

A bolt up from the bottom of the seatstay with a removeable spacer once the bolt is out, genius!

That is vry cool.

Now just the rack issue.

And the price tag

I would love one but have been enjoying bikes with drops, not had a flat bar since my first bike 5 years ago.
Still pondering

A roadrat ?

I've got an older, drop bar version of the bike and very happy with it. Lots of different setup options with the frame.

But but but...isn't a Croix de Fer very much in the same ballpark?
