    Never trust a bike with two first names.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭pointer28


    That has to be one of the worst so far.

    I thought the Alans were long gone. They made their name with a (comparatively) featherweight aluminium frame that was glued together, back in the day when everyone was riding a steel frame. Nobody trusted the glue 100% though, rightly or wrongly, which limited their popularity. Their website still honours the old steed.

    Those Alans were rebranded Vitus frames, as ridden by Sean Kelly for a lot of his career. He seemed to trust them.

    Yeah, that was the Duralinox. I think they might have changed the formula for the glue and then rebranded. Not exactly sure though. Maybe the truth will come out some day.

    regardless of the looks of the bike; why would you bother producingsuch small air purification and photosynthesis units? there's no benefits of scale whatsoever. and the environmental impact of producing the 'eco-friendly' systems probably outweighs their operational benefits.

    just buy a couple of potted plants. they don't need batteries to maintain their function.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,192 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    But oxygen comes up from the top tube. Damn it, thats what I need when on the bike. I always struggle with breathing.

    I thought it was lack if fitness but know I know its the bikes fault


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭Hmmzis


    Can't quite see what sort of quantities of CO2 can that bike split and where the captured carbon goes. Since a plant is carbon neutral by definition this would beat a potted plant in any case if the manufacturing cost is ignored. It would be interesting to compare this against just planting a tree and then harvesting it to make a floor or some other permanent construction.

    I know what I'll do, I'll make a bike out of rolled up chicken wire. 1415110500019-a5sd7mn6mdkg-1400-80.jpg

    The Paris-Roubaix version comes with a roll of clingfilm, I presume?

    those tubes look like they should collapse down for easy storage.

    Looks like the saddle is turned at an angle, pointing towards the corner of the room.
