i dont know why, but the Turners website designs always angered me...

Try the Clifcat one. It's really really not good.


Does anyone else here think a 12 lb frame for a Freeride bike may be a little heavy? Even with a nice 8" of travel.

Flash is an awesome tool, if used properly. Unfortunately, more often then not, its used very poorly, and ends up annoying people more then helping them.

Don't hate the flash, hate the coder. ;)

What exactly is wrong with the site??? I'm sure if I'd viewed it from home it would have taken about 20 minutes, and the closeups are kind of retarded because they don't really show anything interesting. Other than the probable speed issue and the fact that the specifications popped up in a seperate window I thought the site was pretty easy to navigate, not really annoying at all. I'd compare it to santa cruz's website which I found to be adequate but not overly impressive.

There are a number of things wrong with it, speaking from a design point of view, but i am hesitant to post it up cause it might seem like i am baggin on the designer. I'm ot, but i beleive there are things that can be improved on.


My biggest grudge against it is that i don't think it suits turner at all. They are super hottie bikes, and deserve a site with all the beauty, elegance and raw sex appeal that thier frames have.

at the end of the longest line
you two above me pretty much said it.

probably the best frame sites i can think of off-hand are Foes and MC; nice clean and big images, plenty of info, etc. Doesnt feel like my glasses are fogged over.

Not too sure I like the Highline. I prefer the Knolly (yeah, I'm biased because I bought one). The V-tach seems more elegent and well thought out. I'm assuming the Highline is still in a prototype phase, it does not look "finished".
