"It", GUDooHoo? We accomodated for two riders in the shipment. Oh well, you can just send the other one back.

Siko, thanks for giving me the image of your very large person dressed up like Shirley Temple. Straw hat and lollipop too.
xyP, I'm not a sadist. If I had my way there would be live stream video from the shop 24/7.

Hey all, First post for me. Just saw the frame on Dirt. Here's something I'd been kicking around for a while;
Haven't sorted out the linkage on it yet, but funny how similar it is to the superco. Bit of a bummer really

I'm sure it's coming.
maybe I'm getting old, but the thought of a non-triangulated tubular cromo swingarm doesn't give me much confidence. Something something cracks, something something flex.
@Sandwich, Never ridden the BMW bikes, but I use a similar design but with some very key differences. No cracks and stiff enough. Those who have been/are on them do not feel they are flexy. Sexy yes, but not flexy. One guy has put 4 seasons on his. I weigh 195lbs geared up and can't say I feel they are flex to where it is noticeable or negative.
I got to ride this very bike. still one of my all time favorite designs. *swoon*.Gotta link to some porn on this mythical beast.

I'll take a mini version with 120mm travel please, 64 deg HA, 480mm reach, 76 deg STA, 148mm back end.
Thanks
Heathen148mm back end
I was going to say 142 but I thought I would get shot down, I forget people like old standards here. I had my current frame made with 142mm DOs but 148mm does make sense especially if you are going to be running 83 mm cranks anyway.
Just had to check to see how the 8 Speed Petition thread was going, seems we are over that fear now.

If you look at most of the high pivot frames like Commencal's, Norco, Deviate, and others, they are single pivot frames using a swing arm in the shape of a triangle. They are not a "triangulated" swing arm. Canfield and the Dark Owl are true triangulated rear ends. Stiffness is achieved by the linkage on these high pivot frames. Low pivot designs also employ this it is just reversed. Either on can be flexy or stiff depending on a number of factors like length, wall thickness of material, shape, etc.
Build a 29er
Nah, I'm a dirty bearded hipster and you can't recycle that stuff here yet, also China gets enough of my money as it is, if we outsource everything to them they will become our lizard overlords.or this:
They toook errrrrr jerbs and whatnot.

totally with you, tbh. hoping my non-carbon, canadian made xprezo doesn't die any time soon.
I didn't know they went bust 'til a few weeks ago, they were offering to buy back a specific frame model on FB a few months back.
They made some pretty cool looking bikes, shame they couldn't keep going.
Buy back? Why??
I guess they had to give the last one away as a warranty frame, I'm pretty sure it was the model that was cracking like crazy.
Ad-Hoc maybe? Can't remember.
Eilwild, yeah... the ad-hoc was cracking :/
