2014 Core77 Design Awards Winner Spotlight: Sandwichbikes, the Flat-Packed Bicycle That Makes Anyone a Bike Builder
Wow. Such a nicer way of saying the exact same thing as that nightmare phrase of the flatpack bicycle kits of yesteryear, a phrase that struck fear into the hearts of fathers under Xmas trees everywhere: "some assembly required." Over the years, designers have really improved the art of slinging it.
I wonder if there's a way they could optimize the plywood parts even further to maintain the rigidity but lose some weight. If they could get this thing in the 25lb range, I think a lot more people would be willing to shell out for one.
