That’s a quite clever drive system actually. Great craftsmanship. Obviously made only for cruising slowly, but it achieves that design goal in style 🥇

This gave me an idea, this chain arrangement would allow using 2 IGHs in parallel. 3×3 Sturmey sounds tempting

It sucks though that there’s only a mock-up front disc brake.

High level of craftsmanship.
Built to do what it’s owner likes.
Bike is being riden.
That’s x-biking core. Way more than Instagram copy/past specialized builds

Why is it a monstrosity?
This sounds like a gate keeping post without the knowledge of engineering practices.
The guy clearly has talent. That’s a pretty impressive bit of engineering if he built that himself.
Its not to my taste but I appreciate it for what it is the effort involved.

I rode something like this a couple of years ago. Looks cool, but it was incredibly uncomfortable – the position of the pedals made it almost impossible for me to turn them.

“Monstrosity”
Wrong. That thing is fucking sick.

Some of y’all are new to the internet. When someone calls something a monstrosity it usually just means the thing is wildly over-the-top or unconventional. It’s almost always used ironically as praise. Unclutch your pearls, this ain’t gatekeeping ffs.

People mentioning the weight completely miss the point… 🤦

I wanna see it in action
I dig it. I’d try to ride it.
