skeleton bike lead pic IkeaWhat bike is this? Ikea x-ray bike poster leaves cyclists guessing
This rather unusual framed poster being sold by Swedish flat-packed furniture merchants Ikea was recently brought to our attention... but can you guess which bike it is?
We've been scratching our heads in the office and have a couple of best guesses, but haven't managed to vote on a definitive answer just yet. Here's the full pic as our lead image above may have been a bit unintentionally cropped...
It appears to be for sale only on the German version of the Ikea website for €39.99 (link here), and is known as the 'Katebo'. Our x-ray cyclist appears to be riding something pretty racey, but the rim brakes with a few cables on show and the not-so-aero fork would suggest this isn't an aero road bike launched in the last couple of years at least. What do you think, is it even a shadow of an actual existing bike or have we been taken for a flat-packed ride? And for extra nerd points, can you identify what the groupset, wheels and the rider's helmet is?
The poster and subsequent guessing game was sent to us from Trevor Hughes, director at Vielo Sports... go check out the Vielo website here and our glowing review of their Vielo V+1 adventure bike here!
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
I've just realised what the . s are in Flintshire Lad's posts - he's installed bollards in his posts!
No irony here at all....
Yes
Keen to learn the police response... expecting a notice of intended prosecution will be issued to the cyclist shortly. Such language and road rage...
Maybe they thought her piece was rather heady and raw - it needed more maturation?
Why do these self-entitled motorists think they should be blocking a pavement. Doesn't their "road tax" pay for them to block the road.
I went for the slight upgrade of an Axis (mk4), that extra little bit of power and the TAP controls. Over 6 years of trouble free daily usage....
Yeah, I don't actually think that people who call other people politically correct are admitting that they are politically incorrect, it's just a...
"Extenuating Circumstances" - of course there can be, but you'd better be prepared to argue them in court. In my experience the main extenuating...
The Police around my way solved the problem of car parking in the 70cm reserved cycling gutter, at least for the day of one special event, by...
