Finally finished my latest custom build. Powder coated the frame and added some flair. Got about 350 miles on it so far and really happy with the geometry and comfort. Not as light as I hoped at 37lbs but works fine for the type of riding I do. Longest ride so far was 60 miles and felt great.

Big Moulton vibes on the structural form factor. It looks like it would be pretty comfortable; I gotta be that X-bike guy and ask- do you have plans to add racks or fenders?
Woah, looks like riding a Buckyball.
Wish there were more crazy bike designs like this in the world.
Why so much reinforcement on the head tube?
Why so little reinforcement for the seat post? That looks sketchy.
Was this bike built to flex? What is the purpose of all thar extra weight?
Mantis, Mantis Toboggan
Have you by any chance been inspired by a “womens” Pedersen?
Whew, for a brief moment I thought you took a vintage Mantis frame to create this wonder. Ride hard ride long have fun.
That’s beautiful. It’s like functional sculpture or fine art. It totally reminds me of those wind-powered walking “straandbeast” sculptures.
I’m also imagining all of that volumetric space with custom frame bags everywhere. A touring or bikepacking rig with a space frame like that specifically designed for having a huge amount frame space for bags and mounting greebles could be fun.
