Hate is due to pricing, gerard being a hypeman, the horrific way in which they handled the hambini situation. Around here its a status bike rather than something you see "die hard" people riding, generally speaking.

As with all things Hambini, I doubt there was any actual interaction between him and Open/Vroomen. The guy is a pathological liar.

Agree, he is an exhibitionist who craves attention. The best strategy is to ignore him.

+1

Never trust Vroomen or give him more exposure than he already has. Shitty engineering since Day 1.

For Hambini tho I am thankful that he is able to bring some insight into the issues Vroomen design brought with them :thumbup:

Hambini is a youtube toilet, he just rants with little insight. Hambini is a fool.

Like him or loath him, Vroomen is a key and influencial figure in aero and composite frame design.

Past history would suggest otherwise.

Has anyone with a MIN.D tried packing it into a hard bike travel case, like a BikeBoxAlan? Curious if the ISP would cause issues with that.

100% dependent on the length of the ISP. As long as it fits, there won't be an issue

So - anyone have any reviews on this bike? Anyone riding one still to this day?

No real bone to pick here but felt compelled to say this always reminds me of my old TCR SL. Which I loved. Would be fun to see a Min.D here.
Just ride ..

Had to Open the thread to see what it really was all about. Then click on the link to see the manufacturer's website. Riding a bike with "Open" written on it, well maybe I'm not there yet in my personal journey :lol:
