Hey fellow monkeys, whats everyone thought on this new color from Rotec (thats me btw)?

Seems to be well recieved so far but only in limited qtys here in Washington state. I did it as a lark but everyone seems to dig it.

Thoughts please.......

 

[lovebunny]

is alfs bike gonna be that color?

 

[John Sullivan`]

Nope, team colors are Orange like Alfs demo medium (he's getting a proper Large this week. Sanjays will be Orange as well, but in Small unless he decides otherwise.

 

[RaID]

looks alright
i think if the blue was a bit darker it would look better

 

[John Sullivan`]

If you go to our website, www.roteccycles.com and check out the gallery you'll have a better view.

It almost appears to be anodized but its just a chrome base with a blue clearcoat (powdercoat).

Click on the pic, then click it again for XL view

RaID,

That RL9 was in Thredbo as a complete two weekends ago at the Nats.

Thats (thredbo) in OZ btw to all the state side yanks.

a close up may be a bit better for me to decide

id loose the big R near the head tube a bit too much for me

 

[Brian Peterson]

looks good, although I'd choose a better color than pink for the graphics, do something that kind of matches the fork, like white or something for the graphics.

 

[dw]

I like it Sully, keep up the good work my man, I'm psyched for you.

[stinky6]

Looks good Sully.

 

[Threepointtwo]

Beautiful bike, ugly color combo (IMHO). I think I have seen that combo on a bike at Wal Mart recently. Just somthing about it that doesn't rate the quality that the R9 is.

 

[oly]

Looking sick John!!

 

[John Sullivan`]

Thanks for the comments regarding the color..............

As for the pink, theirs actually no pink in the graphics its
just the way it came out looking like in the pics.

The graphics have red, black and white around the borders
with orange in the center.

I like the background colors but I like single color schemes for the decals better than the multi color. I would go with silver or white decals for the blue frame, red or black for the white frame and black for the orange frame. Other than that the bike looks awesome. Any chance you'll be through Eastern Washington for a demo tour?

[John Sullivan`]

If beacon is going on this year i'll come over for that.

Doubtful prior to that. When's your next venture west
of the cascades?

 

[SJ10]

I'm not sure about the Beacon events but Silver Mt. during their Silverrox event might be a good event for some inland nortwest exposure.

[John Sullivan`]

Thats sounds interesting, I'am assuming theres info on their website.
I'll check it out.

 

[John Sullivan`]

Went to www.silvermt.com but saw no ref to any summer activities as they are on winter mode.

I'll do some more digging........

I'd like to race that event this year as longggggg downhill runs are always cool!

Sully, you gotta venture to Mt Wa this summer! Go for the Tripple Throw Down. Awesome race, multi events, and lots of non race riding availble. I missed last year, but am makign a point for it this year....

the DH course was one of the best Ive ever ridden.....long too.

They've got 2 races that I know about going on this year....A Canada Cup race and a BC Cup race...CA Cup July 29 - 30 BC Cup Aug 26 - 27

Oly....is the Tripple Throw Down one of those or is it a different date??? Cause I'd be interested in that!

Yeah, nothing on the website this time of year but I'm sure there will be soon. Lots of bike time for the money at Silver with lots of variety on one run.

Love the bike, but the blue seems a bit too bright. I went and looked on the website and have to stand by my opinion. I think a little more navy and a little less royal, and it would look great. Granted I really liked it in orange, so I'm already biased.

I have to agree that it looked a bit 'walmart-ish' with the decals. It's not an insult, just criticism. Otherwise, it looks beautiful, and I'd love to demo one someday. Keep up the good work.

 

[PsychO!1]

Love the bike, not the color. Never been a big fan of blue though.

 

[John Sullivan`]

Hey Peter6061,
Nothing but love for your thoughts......trust me, not offended at all!

I wish I had some on the east coast but no luck yet. Sold quite a few here on the west coast though as well as my team riders rides so theirs quite a presense already.

The orange is my fav as well and as for the decals......well thats an evolving thing as well. Still growing that aspect of the look for the brand.

Its tough because I do all the graphic designs (concepts) myself and quite frankly I'am not much of a graphic designer of sorts so that end of the bike to me seems to suffer.

Personally it all looks good to me but then again......

I actually like the blue alot and I am loving the new frame design Sully. If only I didn't take this stupid job in DE and had to pay rent, I would have had a bit more expendable coin that I could have put towards one of those rigs. Maybe next year.

 

[John Sullivan`]

Hey Inclag! What up dude............where ya been?
DE......sounds cold to me. glad to hear from you again.

Keep in touch

 

[Radarr]

Sweet rig. Any chance I can demo one for the season? I promise to give it back at the end of the year...

:love:

edit: Forgot to mention - our team is sponsored by Silver Mt., so I can hook you up with all the contact info you need for it. I got distracted by the pretty bike.

 

[bomberboy11]

Oh DAMN does that look hot....me want. How much are the frames going for?

 

[John Sullivan`]

Radarr, contact info for upcoming event and all around riding would be great!

When is the next event? Do you have dates?

 

[John Sullivan`]

bomberboy11, Retail is $2549.00 contact me for details at:

info@roteccycles.com or via PM

Have you checked out the site? www.roteccycles.com

 

[Radarr]

Radarr, contact info for upcoming event and all around riding would be great!

I'll talk to my cap today and get all the info for ya.

Next event won't be until the snowpack is dead and gone - probably April at the soonest.

What I do know about this year is that there has been a lot of shifting of positions up there. As it stands, there should be a full-time trail crew that will cut trails 40 hours a week for the first 2 months of the spring . If you know him, I'm pretty sure that Willy runs the shop 100% now, which is nice. Bunch of small stuff changing, too - enough to make it a good season up there.
