And how fucking cool is this? I'd love to have this just to run down to the liquor store to pick up a few 12-packs. Also made by another local builder...Rick Hunter.

I love 'em. It's even cooler looking in person. Totally adds to the whole "utilitarian" feel. Swobo just makes cool bikes in general though.

EDIT: To show a picture of the bottle opener under the seat...c'mon, that's fucking cool.

I'm not sure I understand the need for a tri-spoke wheel on a fixed on the road. Will someone explain it to me?

Nice looking bikes all the same.

Bunny hop over an oncoming car and flip a table top - the tri-spokes will provide lift and sail you over the intersection.
