From France but in the Indian Ocean "Reunion island", 07 prototypes must be on the island before Christmas.
Just curious about your reactions ... that's my cousin brand ... not exactly a startup since he works on them for 4 years now !
Any one interested ?

Estimated weight of Le Vince DH without shock under 6.6lbs with around 9" of rear travel.
"Le Vince DH" with it's multi-position HT & micrometric height for the BB + Maxxle compatible rear dropouts.

Then some pics of "Le Shrine" FR frame with 6.6 rear travel for 5.5lbs without shock + Maxxle compatible rear dropouts too.

looks like a super 8.. An ugly single pivot. Not a fan sorry.

exactly

geo specs, sizes, material, colors and price.

 

[Bicyclist]

I find it hard to believe the weight on the DH bike.

ASAP for all the infos ... he's got a website but in French, and only the old models on it ... http://www.cimendef.com/

For you who don't like single-pivots ... some do works !!! Le Vince's one of them !
Simple, light, & strong.

That's with no shock !

 

[Bicyclist]

I know.

I think they look cool, and if they're as light as you say they are, then they'll be awesome for racing (as long as they don't fail). If you're going to hate on a Super 8, you might as well hate on an Orange or a Morewood too, they all look pretty similar. I think they all look cool, but I would love to see the actual frame and not just some CAD drawings.

last time i checked they all worked. well accept the huffy i bought yesterday.

 

[ED75]

I know.

Yeah, I assume it looks heavy, but those are only drawings made with a fat pencil ... you see what I mean ?

 

[frznnomad]

^^^no.

 

[erikkellison]

Did anyone else notice the rear disc brake post style mount?

 

[ED75]

So I ... just have to wait 2 monthes for real pics.

The old frame is much lighter and have not failed in 3 years in the hands of my son ... a good junior racer.

No but i'm still trying to figure out whats going on with the toptube dial adjuster thing-a-ma-jig

 

[ED75]

Yes and it's removable for those who want something else than a 8" disc ...

To LOOnatic now ... that's a micrometric setting, you can move your shock and then change the BB height, angles etc ...

 

[OGDMFG]

looks like you can adjust the shock angle, maybe the head tube angle

 

[ED75]

You got it for the HT, concerning the shock it moves on a straight line only !
It makes a completely adjustable frame. (nothing really new there, except for the micrometrical setting)

 

[OGDMFG]

if the shock changes position on the fixed end would your progression rate change?just looking at the mechanics of the upper shock mount , if the shock changes even a little bit it would be noticeable. just my opinion

yea, or a MC 9.5, the swing arm is similar, not the pivots though, **** all you single pivot hating people, lollthumbsdown:

 

[Wayne]

It looks alright. All single pivots aren't created equal, some work better than others. The good SP's are perfectly fine for anyone.

 

[DHS]

the frame looks just like a scott octane, but has that adjustable headtube like the commencal. goodluck.

now how about some real photos.

 

[AtTheGates]

No but i'm still trying to figure out whats going on with the toptube dial adjuster thing-a-ma-jig

I think its attached to the shock mount.

edit: Oh look another page.

 

[Rip]

Does it come in rootbeer?

 

[zmtber]

where are you expected to plug that thing in? It looks like its designed to run a generator:

I think a G-boxx could be more useful than a generator on a dh-race bike.... maybe for 2008


the black things are the chains, the blue things are the rings and the red/green thing is the G-boxx... do you see what I mean ?

 

[zmtber]

Yep, That Must Be It
