The SCOTT Solace Wasteland by Dangerholm Has the Most Dangerous Disc Brake Rotors
For his latest custom build, Dangerholm has gone full Mad Max. The purposely rusty creation includes a wild truss fork that lacks a traditional stem, and saw blades that double as brake rotors.

The Rad Power Bikes RadWagon 5 Cargo Bike is a Huge Improvement over the 4
