« on: March 02, 2019, 06:24:14 AM »
Böhmerland was built from 1924 till WWII.  There is one at the Barber museum too.

Now there is a company that wants to bring the name back; what do you think?

 Interedting.
 Looks more like a styling excersise,  than a working bike.

Waitvtill they ride over a beer can  or a bit of mud...  Then they he off to re design..

Given the way the rear suspension appears to have a very short pivot, would expect a broken chain after that 1st beer can. :o

 I actually like that suspension,  tucking the concept away for future thought,
 It's the fenders..
 Basically can't ride over anything , without harming fender or even locking wheel up.
 I have seen it happen.
