michael Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I know a few of you are into such things, it could be old news but I'll risk it... http://delta7sports.com/product.html http://delta7sports.com/images/IsoTruss_Technology.jpg http://www.isotruss.org/ I wonder if the technology could be used in space frame car type stuff or for roll cages etc?

Class One Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 You wouldn't want to snag the family jewels on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratm Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 You wouldn't want to snag the family jewels on that! Yeah looks a bit abrasive to me, could easily see some interesting grazes up the inside of your legs from that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Looks like a load of old sparklers welded together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 It may start of light, but on a muddy trail it'd collect a ton of mud inside the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 That would be a bugger to keep clean:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think some neons would look good in there. white for the front. red for the back. powered by intermittently connected dynamo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I've seen some road signs on the A63 made from a similar design, designed to bend easily when some idiot runs off the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I always knew that one day someone would make a bicycle frame out of a Wellington bomber. I'd almost given up waiting, but thankfully lived long enough to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I wouldnt want to ride it! I'll stick to my Santa Cruz thanks... Yeah interesting design, but a bugger to keep clean. Mud would make that thing so heavy on a trail. Have you got the Santa Cruz Heckler per chance, Heckler? (I just looked at their website ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I need to get into this biking malarky really, what with only living 3 miles from work I'm turning into a fat git driving every day!!!!! I've now got my £40 mountain bike though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've now got my £40 mountain bike though! If its got two wheels and a frame tis all you need unless your planning on doing anything heroic Interesting design, my first thought was "must be swine to clean" and HOW MUCH Someone on my course at uni built a bike frame out of plywood and cable, sounds a bit blue peter but it actually worked really well! There are some more interesting ways than just boring old tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
