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

    I nearly vomited but I think I am just one of those people who gets dizzy looking at magic eye images.

    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.

    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.

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


    Sharp.
