Default element bikes...

Element X Krabo ECOllaboration

Written by Andrea Kurland at 15:20 on July 1st, 2008

Printer friendly version of this article


There’s really no excuse to trundle around in a gas-guzzling mountain of steel now that Element, masters of the push, have turned their hands to pedal power.
Keen to get stuck in and help green this fair planet of ours, Element have teamed up with Krabo to create a limited collection of some fine looking handcrafted bicycles.
And to prove their commitment to ‘doing real good’, they’ll be auctioning off these hand-made specimens to benefit environmental non-profits approved by 1% For The Planet.
So there you have it. Pedal power is the new push…

Fixies are the new rollerblades.

If element was really concerned with getting people out of their cars, etc, they would be offering bikes similar to what the fine folks at Swobo offer.

Not enough character? - Here, you can ride this....


I'm just jabbin' ya - Actually I think this is pretty cool. A guy I ride with has a Krabo bike and it's a gem! You probably couldn't find a better made bike anywhere. And to have Element slap their name on it and auction them off for the 1% program is cool too. I'm sure that these aren't going to go to the novice cyclist and they are probably gonna auction for a ton. The frames alone can go from $1500 - 2500 easy.

Honestly, I can't blame Element for just trying to squeeze some profit out of this gas crisis.
