Featured Project : ORYX Time Trail Bike
Harald Cramer's ORYX design won him a $1,000 scholarship from the 2007 Dimension 3D Printing Group Extreme Redesign Contest. The ORYX bicycle is a custom-made time trial bike designed to be shockproof without loosing traction. The one-sided wheel suspension and crank have been shifted to the inside, which Cramer says adds to the overall aerodynamics. The crank itself has been integrated into the bicycle frame, and includes an enclosure for the chain to help prevent injuries. Cramer's concept also finds a solution to the challenge of changing tires. One push of a button makes it possibly to easily slide the wheel off from one side of the bike and cut down on the repair time and hassle.
Take a peek at Cramer's work over at Coroflot.

That would have to be an unbelievably rigid frame and strong wheel hubs to not flex like crazy, attached on only one side of the wheels like that.
Motorcycles have been doing it for quite some time, and those bikes are subjected to much stronger forces. High quality woven graphite should be sufficient.
Hy guys,
when I saw this bike it was like it is build specially for me. I am a Belgian top cyclist and when I was young, I was in the scouts. There we had got an animal name. My name was ORYX. So when I saw this, I wanted to test this bike!
