'A little discomfort, a special experience': the 3D-printed 36/28 Postale concept bike

Fans of weird and wonderful concept bikes will be rather taken with the 36/28 Postale, described by its creator Italian designer Paolo De Giusti as an 'urban pursuit' bike. It's like no urban bike we've ever seen. 

De Giusti isn't a stranger to bicycle design. In 2013 he developed another concept bike, the XXXVI DG, which featured 36in wheels and an innovative and creative frame which broke many traditional bicycle design traditions. 

Although De Giusti has developed designs for everything from motorcycles and lighting systems to robotic chairs and ball point pens, he is drawn to bicycles.

"Bicycles are beautiful products to create, talking as an industrial designer," he told BikeRadar. "There are hundreds of different variations using only the classic eight-tube frame configuration, and the materials available today give you the freedom to created infinite options. At the end of the story you create something that gives you a smile when you ride."
