New Yabusame prototype frame out of Japan.
Some cool features including: cut out in back of seat tube to achieve super short wheel base, v brake mounts under the seat stays to protect your brakes, looooong drop outs for drastic gearing changes.
Not totally sure about all the frame cut outs. But this just a protype, so we’ll see how it holds up.
Not sure if its 700c or 26″

damn straight it’s good to have Pete back from the north, who else could get his handlebars stuck in someones’ spokes, break a mallet, steal someone else’s mallet midgame, lay to waste a wheel and collide with Ray so many times in one session?
meanwhile, Will managed to score a goal from behind his own goalposts, with a fine rebound off the gutter. lucky for eveyone, Sam hooked Will’s arm and escorted him out of play for a bit… when Sam perfects this manouveur I reckon we’re all in trouble!
Still no footdown! Ray's spokes / Pete's handlebars
