Looks like an inexpensive, simple copy of a Dursley Pederson.

I'm with you CRASH, 2ft of head tube then he flips the bars looks dumb. And better be wearing a full wrap helmet in case a car pulls out in front of you.

I build stuff.
Re: what the H... eck?
Why worry if a car pulls out in front of you? Looks like a very stable design to me. It's not my cup of tea, but it looks better than most of these city bikes/hybrids that you see around. It has more style and a comfortable seating position and looks to be made very well.

If there is a functional reason for this strange looking frame- say rider comfort, improved ergonomics, better cornering or something, then fine. If it's just another novelty bike- well- it's plain silly looking. Ugly, in other words.

When it concerns aesthetics, it's whatever floats one’s boat. I say great if the owner likes it. Some people look at a Felt MP, for example, and puke a little. I had a guy on a fixie tell me my Basman is a freaking hideous clown bike. I’m glad there is variety as it makes life’s ride more interesting.
It does look a lot like a Pederson, but it is missing the butt in a sling that the Pederson has.
What's funny is that I sell those and have had 3 people buy one. ugly but I'm not riding it.

Straight Chopper! haha if it was a little bit longer in the back id definately ride it.
That looks like a ridable question mark! :lol: But I actually like that one!bike2112 said:
You sell the Virtue bike in the pic? How does it ride? Is there anything in the seating position, or handling that justifies the odd shape, or is it just an odd shape?chimichanga said:What's funny is that I sell those and have had 3 people buy one.

I sell them. That pic is not mine. It rides fine just not my style. It's just an odd shape.jwm said:You sell the Virtue bike in the pic? How does it ride?

Reminds me of a tall bike but yeah that headtube is something else for sure.
Re: what the H... eck?
I agree, it looks like a Pederson.
I actually don't mind its appearance. It looks a bit odd, but it also looks like a very comfortable ride to me. Very chopper-like.

Needs some truss rods, tail dragged fenders, and some ape hangers. :mrgreen:CRASH said:I can understand wanting to set yourself apart from other bikes, but when the design crosses into the ridiculous...
