This dude is living in the past...$2650 for a Raven?

Nothing at all against Gunnar or the component manufacturers on this, but this thing is a whole load of WTF. I know they're probably extremely wealthy based on where they live thus can just waste $7000 on a build like this, but I can't imagine a more pretentious purpose-less bike.

To be fair a good option of that cost is the Roholff hub/gears, which is like $1300. It is made by ex-Porsche engineers if remember correctly, but I've mostly seen it on touring/bikepacking bikes.

They could have added a Gates belt drive to it....that would be more pretentious, right?


I actually like the bike because it's uncompromising in it's chosen direction.

"Shark Fin". Looks like a bargain at $875

A few Judy's, old manitou, hardtail GT frame... At $5000, what a steal.

I'm being pessimistic, might be some old gold hidden in there, but on the surface looks like Walmart or Sears stuff to me.

This is San Francisco btw.

Even more interesting it's an import, not domestic market, speedo is in km/h and tach in French.

Anyway it's quite hilarious, never though of that.

I'll bet this thing is absolute s*** to ride without vertical articulation between the front 2 wheels when turning.

There are actually motorcycles like this. Piaggio has made them for at least a decade now, but half the engineering is in the articulation of the front wheels when making a turn.



Without that component, you can't lean and you'd almost have to transfer to a single front wheel to turn predictably.

I'll give whomever made it credit for the build quality but I can't imagine this being much fun anywhere but a beach or groomed nordic track or somewhere else flat and lacking sharp turns.

It articulates as much as those shocks let it.
Check out some videos on YouTube; this is a commercial product.

This is like the infomercial for the money clip where the dude cant get money out of his wallet without throwing it everywhere.

oh wow, that is so stupid.

Also the idea of a trike is not a good one IMO.

If you'll notice in the video, when turning, the outside wheel leaves the ground. This is when you need the extra traction the most. So, in my opinion, waste of time and money.

I did not look that close, I had assumed it was like the Yamaha Nikken...... if that is the case the second wheel is pointless....
