A buddy of mine got his Undead the other day. I have to say, it looks pretty awesome in person and dare I say it feels a lot sturdier than his Revolt?

Its pretty awesome how the carbon is totally naked too. They really aren't hiding anything. You can even see tiny imperfections, which I don't know if it matters??

I'm pretty excited to help him build this thing. I'll report back on any buckage.

I feel bad for ya, but a blown knee does not necessarily mean a year off the bike... Without knowing the extent of your injury, I can relate my experience with my blown acl and meniscus tear: I was back on the bike with a few weeks after the initial injury. I waited 7 years to get the surgery caus' I originally thought I wouldn't need it. But aftere surgery, it took me more or less 3 months before I was seriously biking again..

Well the extent of mine is completely torn MCL, ACL and LCL, dislocated knee, fractured tibia and a hematoma that turned into a massive subdermal infection that sent me to the ER.

I was commenting that I wont be back on a DH bike for probably at least a year. I'll trail ride as soon as I can but between now and then I have PT, docs visits and ER to pay for, all of which are coming out of pocket.

thanks, I've got a long road ahead. I go into the ortho tomorrow where they'll hopefully drain my knee, this growth; we'll call it Steve from here out. Steve is putting pressure on the nerves in my knee causing it and part of my shim to go numb, it's constricting movement and generally sore. Been on painkillers and antibiotics to deal with Steve. Steve is currently about the size of a golf ball on the side of my knee and real jelly. It's gonna be Tosh.0 material when they drain it, which hopefully is tomorrow.

The rest of my knee feels surprisingly good, it's stable enough to walk around my house on without the brace and without pain. However I can push my knee in and get my MCL to unhinge (As it were) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151102312033019&set=vb.511498018&type=2

This was early last week, my entire right leg was massively swollen.




just taking the days slow and as they come.

Just a touch of Nair, and you'd have some killer stems! :p

I also blew my acl and tore my meniscus and like the previous poster waited years to do anything about. After surgery I have had a few issues, mine gets filled with fluid and swells like "steve". I get about 90ccs drained out every 3-6 months.

sucks that your paying out of pocket. If you can afford it when your healed up get a CTI brace (http://www.ossur.com/pages/13230) i wear mine every time i do anything more then road riding.

good luck on the recovery and on the sale.

Jesus - sorry to hear this Ohio. Keep us posted on the rehab and get well soon. I'll check with some of the locals on my end to see if anyone is in the market for a frame.

That's SKC's frame including DT guard and shuttle guard installed - no shock (or dummy rod) or seatclamp, but I believe it includes the axle, chainstay protector, and all other hardware. It probably includes the headset cups too, maybe he can confirm.

It's probably worth subtracting the weight of the cups to compare with other frames, but either way it seems pretty light.

Kevin said possibly as early as December, but more than likely Jan/Feb. I'm sending a deposit in soon for one (yes I know the why send anyone $$ when bikes arent built) but with my injury and bills if I dont money now while I have it I might not when the time comes.

The Dunbar site wasn't showing a working link yesterday on Chrome for anything under the Evil category. Now it works. Miracles of Internetz.
In all seriousness, if you are considering an Undead and reside in the Vancouver/Western Canada area, you'd be well advised to get it through Dunbar. The shop guys are pretty close with Kevin, plus, the owner rides one, knows the bike inside out, and is always more than happy to take the time discussing setup tips etc.

Damn that looks good.

I've had my Undead since July. No issues with it. I've even had a few big crashes on it.

It rides like the Revolt but better; for me its a good mix of plow and pop. I'm happy to be back on it after my V10C and DW-DHR experience.

If anyone has a large frame they won't be building up and will let it go for a decent price, send me a pm.

I recently picked up a brand new undead warranty replacement frame, but since it is a warranty replacement it has no shock. Which rear shocks are guys running / recommend?
I have no experience with the double barrel, and I'm coming off a V10c with RC4. Should I stick with what I know or try and go for a Vivid air? or another option?

Thanks in advanced.
