Title of Entry | MULTI-GEAR |
Country | Taiwan |
Designer | Wei Hsia Hsieh |
Description | The boring traditional city bikes were turned into retro style fixies and café racers. Mainly for showing off, short distances or anti-establishment messenger boys. These stylist, minimalistic and pure bikes came with drawbacks in functionality (no weather protection and carrying your belongings in a backpack).
Multi-Gear is a highly fashionable statement completely in line with the pure DNA of fixies and café racers, while adding the missing functionalities in an unorthodox way. Add it when you need it or like and remove it in case you don’t need it. Brilliant in simplicity. |
