How about a thread where we post photos of what we think are cool new bikes? Not from major brands, unless it’s really different. Something that you personally would like to own, or at least throw a leg over for a while.

I’ll start. I’m not sold on high-pivot idler bikes, but steel is real, and I do like the look of this one from Contra.

^^^^ I don't mind the looks of that bike other than the drivetrain is very busy. Surprise nobody has tried to mount the derailleur on the top, out of harms way and dirt/mud.

^^^ You can’t because that’s the drive tension side. I have seen one in the middle of the rear triangle. But hey, where’s YOUR cool bike photo? :D
