"I just want to say this is one of the best bike related designs/inventions I have seen in a while. I would just point out that the smaller wheel not only allows more room for cargo but equally important, puts the load lower, making riding and standing still way more stable than say a basket or porteur style rack."
"Even if you didn't have access to a CNC it would be fairly straight forward to get someone to machine these. Obviously they would be more expensive. I like the simplicity. This is a good reminder of how low stakes a kickstarter can be. Start small and learn."
"I find it odd that the video doesn't show the screw being installed for the Castle 110 pocket hole. That angle seems like it would require a crazy long extension.Also I have never had to clean the blowout from a Kreg pocket hole. I think it wouldn't have been so successful if that was a real thing."
"This is still a solution looking for a problem. Its an overly complicated and un-attractive stow-able table that happens to have some storage; storage that is likely not needed if you have some cabinets. Ikea makes or made a folding table with storage that was simple, highly functional and didn't require mounting on a wall. Too many 'designs' out there that get clicks online but in the real world have no value."
"Definitely lots of gifts that will end up in drawers. If you're using tools for sketching, you're doing it wrong. If you're doing technical drawings, use a computer. Obviously you can use whatever you want but this is just going to slow you down and hinder your ability to actually sketch/draw. Playing your demo video at 10x makes it seem so easy and fun. Classic internet BS."
"Antilock brakes will not prevent you from going over the handlebars. And they will not magically prevent getting doored. That is not the purpose of antilock brakes. Antilock brakes keep the tires from locking and sliding out, preventing crashes. Given that the front brake does something like 70-80% of the braking, that is important with heavy e-bikes and motorcycles."
"This is hardly a "new proposal". This looks like something I have seen in numerous bike shops for displaying bikes. I am confused as to why an architectural firm decided to make a press release for something so mundane and not new in any real way. Sorry, but who really gives a good gosh darn about this?"
"I do not understand how these kickstarter projects are priced. Contrary to what the article's author says, $1323 seems way too cheap. I understand that the benches and weights are not included but there is a lot of material that is included. Are they drop shipping from somewhere in Asia? Are they just covering their costs with this pricing? Will your bedroom smell like a gym eventually?"
"Interesting product offering considering this market (high-end residential) would typically opt for built in storage. But since it is coming from a company that specializes in built in storage maybe they know something we don't."
"I wonder if the intent is to just raise the money and run? I do not see how any of this is viable at that price point. And I agree that this is a horrible horrible design with zero foresight. Can we also address the fact that it is a white cylinder, which may be considered "minimal", but will inevitably clash with a majority of peoples interiors. It would be nice to see all of that money go to good and sustainable products/brands."
