Uploaded by 1mikeeng on Jun 22, 2009
An alternative bicycle designed and built by 8 students at the Rhode Island School of Design. The bicycle features a carbon fiber frame, a completely internal drivetrain with many custom-machined components, a 3-speed internally geared hub, one-sided forks on the front and rear, a front roller brake, and a removable storage unit.

Awesome bike. I liked the seating position and easily removable wheels. I would suggest two things though:
1. I would have liked to have seen a rear brake.
2. I would have liked to have seen an adjustable seat (maybe it already is?) and possibly a backrest for it since the seating position is one in which that would work well.
great job.

Well done! I hope you continue with this idea. How is the gear range working out for you? It looks fairly heavy, so I imagine going uphill might be a challenge, although this would be ameliorated by the seating position and forward pedal angle.

looks like modded front hubs that have 20mm axles. makes sense to make both wheels the same and easily removable.
-
where can i get hubs like them from
-
its called bite hard

That is very cool indeed - good job!

Turned out really well. We had to modify some spacers in the rear axle, but otherwise it held up quite well upon completion. In general our tolerances were too tight all around for the components. It was a pretty thrilling process in both good and bad ways. It's amazingly comfortable to ride. I might even be able to get my grandma on it. Maybe not.

Thanks! Yes, the rear wheel is gear driven - the chain drives an axle which attaches to the rear wheel from the side.
