They put the forks on that carbon balance bike on the correct way round. You'd think they'd take care to assemble it properly since it's a display bike.

actually a negative offset isn't a bad thing with such small wheels. It helps having a trail value in the good direction.

Pretty sure stem is upside down too - although it may have been a roadie who built it

@faul: true, my son's balance bike has the drop outs on the rear of the fork.

No the forks are on the correct way
They just put the bar & stem on back to front

I know this is a joke but they %100 are on backwards, all you have to do is look at the signature.

is “Looks like a Minion” a thing? Because I think that’s where we are at with tires

That rotor: GENIUS!

I've got some Oak sitting around. Think I'll make my own on my scroll saw.

Every kid is going say, "You really expect me to ride that with GEO!!" Make it slacker and I'd think about it.

I was wondering when graphene would make its way into the scene. This just in: "were ditching carbon fiber and making a newer slacker stronger bike out of graphene, its 5% stronger, 2% slacker, and 100% guaranteed to only make a difference on thw average rides wallet!"

I don't think many people realize just how amazing a rotor made out of graphene truly is.... It's a really unique and incredible material, which is pretty new to the world. The last place I expected to see something like that was in a bike show article! This is why bicycles are awesome.

Graphene disc brake rotors, get your grubby little fingers all over it and the brakes won't howl?

Disco paint is the next big think!

Toppeak should make beer growlers that can seat a tire. Now that would be something.
