Welcome • What makes a bike a ‘dream bike’? I mean, to the untrained eye one bike is pretty much the same as any other – a set of tubes in a double triangle shape, a pair of wheels, handlebars up the front, saddle at the back and a crank and chain system to make it go. The basic design hasn’t changed in 100 years.
