mraf Posted January 4, 2014 #2 Posted January 4, 2014 Neat looking concept not having any spokes. If it was mine I couldn't help but put a stuffed squirrel running in the middle supported by bearings. Kind of like the hub-meters run on the axles of semi trucks.
cowpuc Posted January 4, 2014 #3 Posted January 4, 2014 Few years ago I crawled thru one of these spokeless hubs on chop at sturgis.. Got talkin to the builder afterwards about the rideability of such a creation.. The rear pulley is very close to hitting the ground when the bike is standing upright, go into a corner to sharp and your metal to ground (way it looked to me). I asked the guy who built the bike about it and he said,, yea,, his wasnt built to ride it was built to look at... Definitly different..
Huggy Posted January 4, 2014 #4 Posted January 4, 2014 To me building a bike to look at is a waste of time and money!
Flyinfool Posted January 4, 2014 #5 Posted January 4, 2014 To me building a bike to look at is a waste of time and money! AND good parts... But then there are a lot of people that build various things for no purpose other than to look at or just the fun of the build. Some people like creating things that are a work of art, those same people may not be able to enjoy riding, so they make art. Then there are those that simply have more money than they know what to do with and the cost is irrelevant. I learned a long time ago to not fault others because there hobbies or interests/preferences within a hobby are different than mine. Who knows, now that the concept is out there, some manufacturer may pick up on it and come out with a production centerless wheel bike. I see it in the RC hobby all the time. First someone cobbles something new up in the basement, then others see it and copy the idea and make improvements, then a manufacturer puts it in production, next thing you know it is mainstream and everyone is doing it.

I have always said " What ever blows your skirt up , have at it " at least your doing something that interests you.
