PDP Burning Chrome


As FleetAdmiral Skunk likes to say, "every bike is a folding bike",
but this one unfolds again as good as new!


Its name comes from the chrome that got burned off the MTB fork
when the bridge for the caliper brake on undersized navi thruster was
brazed on. William Gibson's eponymous short story is a complete
coincidence.

This ship has been to Burning Man twice, which is
more than its builder can say.
