-I don't want this blog to be ONLY about bike, but i love bike..so here is one i found through Flickr.. on alistairh flickr collection can you make simpler please ??
some kind of simplicity hardly found in todays bike.. structurally , i'm not sure , but it seems pretty strong . ?? anybody got more news about this one ?
about the designer:
Jean Prouvé (8 April 1901 - 23 March 1984) was a French architect and designer. His main achievement was transferring the manufacturing technology from industry to the architecture, without losing the aesthetic qualities. (wiki)
