yes i do. heres a few from the last year or so.









and heres one of me and orven together


its a great bike. pretty much perfect geometry. its really stable at speed but is still very agile when needed in the corners and rocks. the suspension is very active with a bit of pedal bob but i run a romic so that could be it. plus i run quite a bit of sag.

nice bike and pics!!! imo the orange paint job makes the b1 look crap, this is much better.

and most of the time when we change stuff is more of we want to more then we need to...

Q, how are you liking the barracuda tires?

Those pics, especially #2 and #3 are just sick... keep em coming if you got any more. Those things are IMO one of the best looking bikes ever made, and riding pics are always good!

Run an MRC Med comp in the rear...you'll eat up that MRC Low in the rear in about a week, especially with the amount of time you spend riding with your brakes on -according to Patrick btw :p. Get a chainguide, dammit!!

dhkid, thanks for your colorful comment about the ornage Be One. Bec of that, it will be my mainstay bike until I get my replacement in a few weeks. I ride stuff people think are ugly.
BTW, it's MANGO orange, not just orange. ;)


I luv the way this thing carve on corners. It's almost on auto-pilot bec I can't really corner well.


teej, let's ride Saturday. I'll also be at slurpant early Sun AM. Bring it.

I like the orange better too. Just get those pink tires for it (halo?).

TJ has his brakes locked most of the time. He had his brakes locked while on rock at the lower rockgarden, by the wall. I almost hit him. Maybe he would be a better spectator. :D

and to those asking about the tires. they are amazing. they seem to need to be pushed pretty hard in corners and can be slightly unpredictable in ruts but overall they are my favorite tire.


and now that ive had nearly a year on this bike i think its fit to post a review. i love this bike! the bike practically corners itself. really loves being pushed into them. it does great in rocks and doesnt get hung up at all. i cant say much on how it jumps because alas, i am a pussy. but from what i can tell it just wants to stay stuckto the ground and accelerate. truly a great bike, i wish that the company was more accessible.

money talks.. :)



Almost sold mine (other one belongs to the wifey) when I had it for sale but back pedalled and decided to keep it. I've always wanted one too for so long (thanks G. Ryan). I drooled over the Be One Bas De Beaver brought over to Sea Otter several years ago. I literally asked him at the pit if he wanted me to hose his muddy bike down after his practice. He just laughed.

:o: just personal opinion... imo the bare front triangle makes it look simpler, the orange really highlites its complexity.... sorry if i offended you.:wave:

Will I be seeing you at any world cups? If so we can race and see who is faster. :pirate2:

Granted though, Peaty, Beaumont (sp?) and the big A's are faster than any American at the moment (who is the fastest American right now?). Don't fret though, we will get some fast guys out there in the next couple years. I'll just be out there as a speed bump. :cheers:
