I'd love to see less marketing hype and more truth too, I've been talking about chassis physics for a little more than 10 years with anyone who will listen. The old timers on this board I'm sure will remember me doling out a long line of technical reality over the years.
The problem is that...
I still have and own all of the models, prints, etc... I've actually considered it, but I feel like I've gone another step with the Pivot Phoenix and Turner DHR. The Sunday was pretty groundbreaking for it's time, and it's definitely still a really viable bike even compared against many more...
If you run offset bushings on a Sunday, there's a very good chance that the fender mount on the rear uprights will hit the back of the seat tube/frame uprights.
From 2007-2009 we ran most of the team bikes with unmodified frames and custom 1.5 degree e13 angle changing reducers and it worked...
Teams need financial support to race, bottom line. Markus and Lukas (MS-Racing), and the riders really wanted to continue with Evil but there was no way that Evil could bring $$ to the table. Understandable given the factory situation that Evil endured, and the fact that Kevin is trying to bring...
Yeah like Michael said, a used one would work sweet, or if yours is bent, try bending it back. That thing is pretty resilient and was designed to be bent back into shape.
I had it in 2004 after riding Whistler for the 3rd week in the wet and not being able to see. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. My riding improved ( I could see the trail coming out of fast corners all of a sudden), my vision improved to 20/15, and I didn't have to wear those...
I think that you are exactly right, his design agency does really well and they have some great partners. Also, as he's explained to me, he "doesn't want to fuel the speculation fire" FWIW, whether people agree with it or not. I just hope that it all works out in the end.
That Zink move was over the top. I've known those two since they were just a couple of young punks hanging around at the Norbas. Now they are just old punks, I couldn't be happier to see them out having fun riding together and I am stoked that they want to rip on equipment I had a part in...
The Sunday in the pic is a medium, and the Pivot in the pic is a small. The small Sunday was always known as a larger small. Jaycee from Madcatz always wanted a smaller one for himself.
The Phoenix has almost an identical weight to the Sunday. It is NOT 12 lbs for the frame, I don't know where...
I hear you, that's my style as well. If the product is made for a specific purpose, say it clearly and let the product stand on it's own merits.
In the case of the Phoenix, I had no idea that the bike was being launched, where it was being launched, and until the more recent bike launches...
