A lighter, simpler 1" less travel Demo is in the works for '05. I was asking for this a few weeks ago...

they must have heard me and called tawain, prototyped it and flown to whistler and tested it and then put out a press release, all in a few weeks. Wow they really care what I think! They must have done this just for me

I wish I had juice like you.

This thread is on the third page of RM at this point! Man you're slow

Why would I check the third page when the hot tasty action is right here??? I didn't think any news this exciting could drop that far back that fast...

 

[Matt D]

I guess there are much cooler and exciting things than this

I was thinking though that it would be nice if the size of the first page would allow for more topics; I guess we have around 25 now, 40-50 might be nice. If it's off the first page, I don't see it usually; just like you.

I'm not interested unless it is at least 46lbs.

HA ! I said 1.5" It just don't make good cents.

How about a 6" to go w/ the beefy SCs ?

Dunno where you guys are getting the idea that this thing is super heavy. We sent one off to BB the other day that weighed 41, and it's the second lightest that Trailhead has built. It ain't 35, but the owner isn't Steve Peat either.

I didn't say it was heavy, I just said I wasn't interested unless it was 46lbs...and even then, that doesn't mean that i want one, just that i'm "interested", so I can make fun of it.

I know somebody that has another prototype, and the frame is 1.5lbs lighter. I haven't seen or ridden it yet though.

The rider is a test rider/Spec pro.

Jet, is that rider Chris Herndon by chance?

I really like the sound of this bike, I have always riden single pivots (But with linkage driven shock) and would like to try out a 4 bar horst system, the demo 9 was a bit weighty for me though (Only going by what I was told. I have never actually weighed a frame)
