Random Lopery!


			thirdraildesignlab posted a photo:	The original aesthetic inspiration for this build. The off-white color matches the MINI, our last MINI, and the Karmann Ghia before it. Ultimately, I let go of the tomato red because my wife pointed out it would look wonk next to all the honey leather. So the bike is just the off-white. This fixed gear build features a custom-installed S&S coupler system, for maximum travel capabilities.Read the build logs and more on the Team Lope Tyre Clubbe site:www.teamlopetyreclubbe.com

lewog5 Lew Racings Pro VT 1   lightest production wheelset made

850 grams
$6,000
R3-approved

This is the lightest production wheelset in the world. (Also appears to be the most expensive.) Designer Paul Lew works for the Department of Defense, building composite UAVs — this is a SIDE PROJECT.

Jesus.

The 46-mm V-section rims are BONDED to carbon-fiber spokes.

Surprisingly, however, in testing, these wheels apparently feel squirrely as a result of their insane lightness, which comes in at almost a POUND under traditional ultralights.

Still.

Dope.
