In a world of "everything's been done already," this is pretty unique.

Pilen concept is a race bike inspired by early Le Mans style, the concept is supposed to create a sentimental bond with the user and also give them the same feeling as if they were driving a sports car. This concept is developed for the Swedish bike brand Pilen cykel in Målilla. (from the pedal-pusher blog entry.

I saw that design ,and thought about whipping one up , but I figured everybody would say...the forks are backwards ...and I didnt know where to find that crazy seat. :shock: :shock: Its a neat design that looks like it could be modified into a really cool bike.

I must say.... Me likey.... I think it's got a real nice stance and that bars/stem/fork combo looks real smooth and flowy... in a odd kindy way, does anyone know of any bars that are a similar shape to those? they'd look scuhweet on my fixie project... THanks guys

Frame style reminds me of this BMW-inspired bike :

I wouldn't mind having both :mrgreen:

That "bmw inspired" one would make an awesome motorized cruiser. Shaft drive too!
