Thats insane!!!!! imagin riding that thing man, jupming a tandem is funny enough but Dh on one omg i so want to have a shot!!!!!

 

[Techno Destructo]

Damn. Any estimates on the price tag on that one?

Don't forget to factor in the Rohloff Speedhub gearbox (+$2000 for that alone) above the rear set of cranks.

 

[Squidly Didly]

Despite the heavy components all over that fat rig, the guys left out the Hussefuct crankset(s).

 

[Simo]

i'll take two of each

Double beef and bacon burger!

Farkin hell.
That looks cool.

Even with 2 people, they'd struggle to get it up anything resembling a hill. Imagine the balancing problems you'd have when you hit the rough stuff at speed :shock:

 

[Billy]

Is it just me, or does that bike make them shivers look tiny ?

 

[Dicky]

teeheehee i thought u mighta chucked that one up here squidlos
have a close looky at the chain comin up from the stoker's crankset - it runs up to a 14spd rohloff rear hub. from there, another chain runs Around The Hub Body Itself :O to a single ring on the rear hub.
this baby is running 3 chains.

in short....


MWUHAHAHAHA

and i want to try wheelying it :mrgreen:

On an Ellsworth tandem too! Shame it didn't get a segment. Remember the original "New World Disorder" with Bobby Root on the Tandem nose-wheeling down the street, with an "inflatable Ingrid" on the back? Funny stuff!
