B-9 NH BLACK EDITION URBAN STEALTH
“The bicycle would be Black, almost radar absorbent. Any eye that caught it would be captured in its dark gravity. With flat paneling it would look like a veiled threat.”
The handmade B-9 NH Black Edition singlespeed bike, takes its styling cues from famous F-117 Nighthawk aircraft, and features a carbon fiber frame and fork, one piece carbon stem-handlebar, unique carbon S72 Saddle system and custom CNC machined alloy cranks.
The radical bike first appeared at a show in Berlin in 2012, from the Bratislava design firm, BME, who was previously known for its exclusive bamboo and titanium frames.
According to BME, production has been limited to just 100 frames, and it comes with the hefty price of €7800 or $US8600.
But, just think of all the faces you’ll get, when you roll up to Starbucks on this ride.
