G-boxx

The G-boxx project (http://www.g-boxx.org/) is to create a open-source platform for derailleur-less bicycle. The main objective is to get rid of the breakage prone parts like derailleurs and dished-wheels. A G-boxx bike will typically have a gear box system consiting of either a chain based or a geared hub based system. The result unable a full suspension bike to have a single pivot located in the best spot while still having the main gear situated a the center of the main pivot. It also give the bike a stunning look! The one picutured above is a Nicolai, a mechanical marvel costing about 4000$ frame only. More about Nicolai later. Pictures: www.nicolai.net/
