So sick. I really like that frame. It looks like PDC put a lot of thought into it, no BS styling. The build looks good too. How do you like the Manitou? I assume from the angle of your seat with your big unsagged that it has doesn't see much use. Looks great. Have fun in Whistler.

If you mean it looks like the lowers are splayed outwards (axle further away from the BB than the stantions) then I agree with you. My guess is that the camera angle has something to do with it. Also, the stickers on the lowers are sloped--maybe there's some kind of optical illusion. However, I have been looking at that Manitou closely, and there's a hell of a lot of exposed stantion relative to the amount of possible insertion and overlap between the stantions and the lowers. Does anyone know why Manitou does this?

yes, its so that that arch doesnt slam into the downtube.

Nice bike man!

Everything about those frames are awesome - looks good, and rides even better.

Plus I dig the white frame with the black fork...:)

50% sag?! Ahhh... you can probably get even better performance by running a stiffer spring than that. Forks really shouldn't ride that low IMO.
