We're looking at just over 15.000 Euros, about 13.000 GBP or almost 18.000 USD here. Boggles the mind.

The same bike is $12,500 in the US so the difference is probably due to transport, import taxes, and distributor margin.jagheterjan wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 10:58 pmWe're looking at just over 15.000 Euros, about 13.000 GBP or almost 18.000 USD here. Boggles the mind.

Don't know if it fits here but couldn't find a topic about Ku Cycle yet, a new brand for triathletes (you know, those guys and girls that love to ride sleeveless jerseys and low socks ):
There's no Photoshop involved (except for some color and light edjustment maybe).

If the geometry is not strange enough, there are also the paint schemes that are not so average:

The second paint scheme is the flag of Friesland, a province in the North of the Netherlands.Roel W wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 10:06 pmDon't know if it fits here but couldn't find a topic about Ku Cycle yet, a new brand for triathletes (you know, those guys and girls that love to ride sleeveless jerseys and low socks ):

Among many other issue, should have some serious front wheel flop (lack of caster) with that 90 degree head angle?

I love Moots stuff, but holy hell. If that linkage breaks the rear triangle is going up your a$$. At least they have a stem protector for your...nuts?

That 4-bar linkage style with a huge swingarm was very common in the late 90s, credited to the likes of Paul Turner and the Turner Burner. Also seen on bikes like the Outland VPP. The Moot Malcolm took it to the extreme.
Love the build otherwise… the Marzocchi Bomber fork, XTR M950 cranks, the Time ATACs, the 130mm stem, etc.

What's wrong with that, the stem is slammed, right ?
Well the price isn't
