Title: So much ehm, untapped potential! Quick! Modify your Thorn!
Post by: Danneaux on April 12, 2013, 07:02:58 PM

Hi All!

I don't drink, and this still appeals. Just think...the potential to use "wasted" space on our Thorns. All I have in my main frame triangle are Blackburn bottle cages for two 1.5l water bottles. I wasn't thinking big enough.

See: https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7301883904/h0F017AB8/ (source unknown so I can't secure owner's permission to post the pic directly)

Anyone have a guess what the red cylinder on the left seatstay is used for? My guess is it might be a CO2 container for making drinks bubbly. The drop-down picnic table is sublime, and I think I see the backside of two speakers and an MP3 player. Ah! Proper alfresco dining complete with a musical serenade wherever and whenever the mood strikes; can't beat that.

Waitaminnit. This beats that: http://www.bloondesign.com/2012/09/springtime-picknickbasket/ Brilliant! Falls directly onto Danneaux's Need.Want. list.

Best,

Dan. (...who is looking at revising his touring load after seeing these things)

Dan,

I think you have found Andre's drink server's bike!  And, if his physician also serves as drink server, my guess is the red bottle is oxygen.

(Who is just kidding at Andre's expense.)
