'Z' frame at biCyCle store Paris

Pourquoi? Parce que nous pouvons...

This interesting Z frame in the process of being assembled was posted on biCyCle store Paris this afternoon.

As biCyCle store Paris describe themselves as "la boutique spécialisée en vélos haut de gamme à usage citadin" we're interested to see what high-end city cyclists are riding in Paris these days.

That fork rake suggesting a small front wheel looks like it's going to build into a pretty fierce machine in proper 1970s Francesco Moser style which is just the first thing you'd question on a city bike. Mainly though it's that jagged point right where you wouldn't want a jagged point that gives us the heebie-jeebies for riding around town. Or anywhere else for that matter.

We're calling 'dix points' for workmanship, 'nil points' for user friendliness.

Needs to zig where it zags on the top tube - poor design choice.

They could have done the Z the other way around…
