Copying the slingshot design and integrating a thin gauge lock doesn't have me convinced. Puma sports wear fans can go eat your heart out :) I always love my commuter bikes to be simple.

I would be very afraid to drive those in certain neighborhoods, though. What a great looking bike. I would be very afraid to drive those in certain neighborhoods, though.

Yea, they can see me. Therefore, I assume they expect this to be ridden at night. Turn signals? :) (Fenders? Skirt guard? Place to carry stuff? I need a *many* trick pony.)

When I look at a bike frame, common sense (the common sense that knows nothing about dynamics, structures, moments, forces, etc) says that the downtube is in compression. But as the Puma demonstrates, that just ain't the case! I'm with Gfried though - needs chain (rather than beltdrive) & mudguards. And a rack.

I haven't heard any reports about cops getting sick from carrying such-equipped guns, so I take that as pretty positive news.
