The Beast:
This Bottecchia Kronotech Concept Bike was first displayed in the 1986 Vancouver World Expo and it seems that by going back in time we are still looking at something that still has not really hit the road. But that could not have been too long ago, with the way bike designs are taking shape. The streamline body gives it the look of a sports bike and its shape is surely set to send your pulse racing. The bikes design ensures that your body is in the best aerodynamic position possible.
The Machine:
The carbon-fiber frame and wheels of this bike, give it both a unique and strong feel. It has an integrated computer and there can be continuous wireless transmission from the bike. This makes sure that you are connected, while still on the move. Priced at $ 20,000, the bike is for those who like to go extravagant with their pedaling pastime.
The Thrill:
While this bike made its debut as a design in 1986, it was never produced till date. With modern bikes like this coming out in the last couple of years, the Kronotech might no longer be very relevant. But it just reminds us how getting carried away with concept designs can be dangerous and how many never really see the daylight at the end of the dark tunnel.

I can’t quite figure out where the head and rear of the bike are. Anyway, I feel most concept designs never see the production floor. This concept isn’t alone.
Yes Sameer,It seems that it’ll remain a concept only ”it seems that by going back in time we are still looking at something that still has not really hit the road.
The left on the picture is the seat and the right is the handles. The seat is placed much higher than the handles which forces you to bend down and get into the position of a professional cyclist looking for the best aerodynamic position. Not too comfortable for a long and daily ride though.
