    Not gone on that. Red on the wheels clashes with flouro yellow on the frame and the white stem looks odd.

    Must get on to my team mechanic, he said the red stickers made the wheels go faster:D;)

    This one could really go either way, but I think I'll place it here.

    dazzle works not by offering concealment but by making it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading.

    Might be useful for surprise breakaways :pac:



    I like it for this op-art radicality.

    Lollipop lady's dream bike.

    sorry Tom, have to agree with Daroxtar, the colouring is all over the place, its like a 7 year old was let loose on it.

    yeah, i was just thinking that that bike should come with a warning for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

    the wheels are sweet, the rest would give you a headache!

    I'm with Raam. I like it.

    I love it. There is a lot f funk missing from bike design (decoration not the shape of it if you know what I mean). I love that, it's an original design, not regulation no-original-thinking-has been-expended-in this design camo. Camouflage. Camo was over in the 90's! I'm surprised by the lack design in bike finishing.

    I have just gone to the festka website, they have some cracking looking bikes as well as awfull looking ones!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭cjt156


    Is the colour scheme there to cover up the ugly; or is IT the ugly. Either way it hurts.

    No worries Bloggsie, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. speed and comfort outweigh colour scheme in the real world..:D:D

    Argh my eyes, also shouldn't the redshift/blueshift on that mirrored monstrosity be the other way around if the intention is convey speed so fast that light shifts?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭Zyzz


    Sharp.
