Don't have any pics of my two shova's up to date... Will have to get some.

Just wanted to ask the morewood guys that know morewoods is the 07 ndiza exactly the same as the 08 ndiza geometry wise? Should i save up for the 09's?

That really sucks ass as it is the best looking bike I've seen EVER. Hope he gets well sooner than later.

we call it the ultimate poser bike.... and the rider is an interesting guy, almost breaks a bone every year. has soft bones or something.

He can be just small framed. I'm pretty small and I break and injure myself quite often too. Well that or he can't fall properly.

First post here, so Hi :)
Got sick of pinkbike kids, hoping it's more mature here.

Anyhoo, here's my Makulu - hope you like it

Is it just me that can't get excited about Morewoods (or any single-pivot for that matter?)

can we get a ride report ?

(please?)
I would love to mate, but as you can see from the pics - it's still rather icy around and my riding spot was iced over. Was only able to ride it in mushy slow and short course conditions, so hardly a good test.

I can say though that the forks feel so nice and stiff and so plush that it used most of my travel without me noticing it - so I will only venture a guess the damping is amazing.

I'll post a "Joe-Averedge rider's" perspective review soon as I can :)

Was going to wait and use this pic on my 6 month review, but had to put it in this tread as well.

Newer shot with all the newer upgrades. Still around the 37.5lbs mark with DH tires and 35.5lbs with All Mt tires.

Honestly I think the sizes are more like "small" and "medium," the long fits just like my medium SX Trail did.

I agree with Bicyclist, I would like to see the reach and stack measurements for comparison. I might measure them myself on my Izimu because the cok-pit feels short on a "large".

My '07 doesn't feel particularly little at all.

I have a large with an RSX stem at the longest setting (50mm?) and 750 lo-rise Full-ons. It feels comfy, but pretty big, and I'm about 6'1". It feels bigger than my mates large V10 with 45mm stem and 740mm sunlines.

I've ridden a ton of different Morewoods. I'm 6' 1" and I've owned two "large" frames, from my experience riding other frames it fits much more like other companys' medium frames. My old roommate and another friend both had "small" Morewood Izimus and I've ridden both and they were both way too small.
