LoL - NICE!BRING THE RAIN.
:biggrin:
Nothing like a 105 round from PUFF to clear the sinuses.
Looks great Dave! Thanks for posting the pic.
built up... nothing adjusted and i still have to instal a few things before it can be ridden... i'll get to it tomorrow
F***ing SWEET !
I get mine tomarowyeah mine's done too, go figure.
they look like the same bike to me.
pretty much... and both need the brake lines shortened but that's not happening tonight.
actually, i see Lee has ODI bar plugs and a different front rim
are you guess in matching "kit" too?

omgee same kitchen
WHY do you taunt me like this...? You KNOW I haven't received mine YET...built up... nothing adjusted and i still have to instal a few things before it can be ridden... i'll get to it tomorrow
:biggrin:
Dave - Lee, Looks awesome! I really like the way the new Boxxer matches up the the color scheme of the frame... wait 'till you see mine.
This is inevitable so: weight?

You know me better than that; the bike hasn't seen a scale and it's not going to. but i did pick it up and it felt plenty light, somewhere in the same ballpark as my Sunday
Dave an Lee those are mint bikes
...seems to me that whites the new black(again!)
...seems to me that whites the new black(again!)Dave is your bike a Large or Med? looks big in the picture?
are you guys both riding the same size? Lee's bike look a bit smaller
congrats and please do let us know what you think. Especially compared to the Sunday.

So have they changed the swing arm at all, like they said they would, for the production models?
As low as a sunday, feels a bit roomier, head angle about 2 degrees slacker and ther is a very noticable progressive end stroke just prior to hitting the bottom..... Should be a fun ride. I love sundays and the above changes are the things I would have loved to see on the sunday platform if it were still around
As far as I understand, the production bikes have the originally planned larger, stiffer, and lighter tubing, wheras the very first black prototypes had smaller and non-production stays.
That bike looks soooooooooo sweet! Me wants.
And I think that this proves wrong all the naysayers who thought that Evil would never go anywhere when it was originally announced they were making a comeback (and didn't show any bikes at the time).

what size did you guys get?
Thanks for the support everyone!
Dave & Lee have mediums.
As _dw mentions, the OG protos were made fast and rough. The tubing was a bit of "what does the factory have around that will work". The overall use of those first bikes was to validate the geometry and the suspension. the ones seen above are truly some of the first production batch.
Just a note that they ship with DHX5.0's and the brothers Trumpore swapped in Vivid's.

Curious as to the look/sizing of the small frame? Wondering if the seat mast is as high on the size small or continues the nice and short stand over for us not so tall blokes.
Are there any other companies around that actually do what _dw and ska todd do? Post up on smaller forums like RideMonkey, answer questions, and generally support their customers in almost a "live-and-up-to-date" manner?
My next bike will be a revolt, without a question.

Nice! Small frame sizing can be deceiving but it seems you made a true small.A couple of small frames have shipped out. I don't have a pic though on me. The ST length on the production small is 385mm and 424mm on the M/L/XL. We have the ultimate pint-sized test rider in Gaber

There is a reason my last two bikes were sundays and the new one is an Evil
Todd.... As always thanks for all the help for yet another year...

A bit of randomness:
Everyones always comparing how bikes look like one another... how about logos?

Turner, Intense, Sinister, Marzocchi, a few others. There's a lot more of that going on over on MTBR on the manufacturer forums.
Looking very cool, my Sunday is currently running as sweet as it ever has and I'm happy with it but I still can't help feeling massively jealous!!
Could one of the Trumpore brothers measure the actual WB length as pictured? Just curious how it lines up with the claimed numbers. If you want to share BB height and any other measurements that'd be cool too.
Also it's so good to see the ST length is the same for M/L/XL. Looks a little on the long side but at least it stays like that for the bigger sizes rather than getting stupidly long.

You were really that upset about the length of the seat tube?
I've ridden a medium and felt comfortable on it in less than a lap coming off of my 7point. I hit a few doubles faster than normal and definately railed the turns faster. The biggest issue I had was banging pedals on the ground trying to pedal faster in sections that I'm normally on the brakes for.
I know Kevin likes to ride his seat high, about even with the top of the head tube, and it shows in this bike. I do appreciate the ST length though because it will allow some adjustment up for the rare occasion that I'll pedal a DH bike very far. There is definately enough room to drop the seat down low.

It's not just the Revolt. I think the seat tubes on a lot of S/M DH bikes are too long. Everyone is banging on about weight and we've got all this pointless seat tube. Especially when you can run a 400mm seat post !
Wouldn't stop me buying the Revolt though. It's an interesting frame.

Udi, here are the production numbers.
The ST length was changed after many people said they prefer some room for adjustment depending on tracks and/or ride conditions. Also gives more options for posts since not everything comes in jumbo Thomson lengths. We kept the small at 15" but changed the other sizes to almost 17'.

TODD - that looks SICK!

I'll be riding at Diablo on Sunday! Can't WAIT to get back in the saddle!
...just for everyone's edification: you're on a Large, correct?
