product design students doron manber and liran cohen of hadassah college in jerusalem have designed a minimalist modular bicycle. the four connecting parts work with four screws that lock the various elements one chooses for the bike frame. in their prototype, the designers use a repurposed vintage chair, using the modular devices.

with then intent of personalizing one’s own bicycle, manber and cohen give you the liberty of designing it yourself. the DIY elements locked between the connecting parts will determine the character of the bike. the four metal modules connect the bike through the pedals, wheels, seat and handlebars.
