This Bike is Going Places
New York, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Sea-Tac, MPLS: This bike is going places.
For those of you who haven’t seen them before, that stainless steel part in the picture is an S&S Coupler. It lets you break the bike in half, so that you can throw it in a suitcase and avoid those jillion fees for traveling with your bike.
Thanks to Mike DeSalvo for helping us cut a perfectly good frame in half.

Brilliant much?
Damn.
Thanks SnarkyPants! I wish we could take credit for the idea, but the gang at S&S developed the coupler and it is really pretty slick. The process for adding them is a little tricky the first time around:
1) Build bike frame.
2) Cut in half.
3) Add coupler.
You can see how it is done here
Re the S&S coupler…absolutely bloody brilliant. Hope to heck they’ve got a patent pending on this thing. It’s a flaming work of art.
