Ya, I do like the Aurum and have drooled over it in the shop, still a Norco though eh....suppose you could scratch the stickers off.

Ken knows what's going on. This is all marketing as DH sales are done for the year. Looks like an Aurum for sure. Big improvement over the last generation of tanks.
sales are done for them? b/c most mfg's are releasing their 2014 lineup now into fall
Some do some don't. Anyone bringing protos to Crankworx knows they'll be on the net quickly. All marketing to get exposure.
not sure if you guys are still trying to confrim if its a RM or not, but on PBs IG, they said it was a RM..
good enough for me =)

Just spent a week riding an altitude from Wells/Barkerville/Williams Lake/100 mile house/Spruce Lake/Lilooet/Whistler....not my favorite bike.I'm with the OP, I'd guess Rocky Mountain from the seat tube gusset.
Beyond the fun of guessing, I don't really have much interest, not seeing much new these days. Unless Yeti comes out with a DH bike with the Switch...
I've spent the last 2.5 months on an altitude, and I think it's pretty rad
Different strokes for different folks?
I think mine was a matter of set up and a guide who wouldn't listen, or let me tinker.
What position did you run the cube in?
Or, what didn't you like?
I freakin' love mine, but it took some tinkering.

Honestly, no idea. Everytime I felt like I made a run and made the bike feel better and more to my likings I'd get back on it and something had been changed again. I think the cube was set in the 2nd slackest configuration. But the tire pressures, rebound and air pressures for the suspension were not something I had a chance to get fit properly. The bike either felt overly chattery, or it dove a lot under breaking up front while the rear felt rock solid like a hard tail.
I would imagine with more time and the correct sized frame (I prefer a medium, was on a large) I could get it tuned to my likings and probably would have enjoyed the bike.
What is this?
a downhill bicycle frame and fork.
a platter of nachos
now i want nachos.

I would prefer nachos over that bike frame. Especially if the salsa was served in one of those little sombrero dishes.
guac and jalapenos are also mandatory.
i think i'm gonna do nacho's for lunch. we're headed to jose's anyways
i have leftover indian for lunch. nachos are now on the menu for dinner.
Indians taste pretty good, as well, if prepared properly.
You talking North America or Southeast Asia?
This thread just went full Ridemonkey.
change of plans, lebanese.
ah, you finally traded in the infiniti for a subaru
ain't no stoney around here.
JK and pegboy prefer curryports over enguaco bearings.
you never go FULL Ridemonkey...
everybody goes full ridemonkey. some of us just don't go back.
and you guys sh!t on pinkbike's forums/comments?
we're not 14
debatable
mentally yes. Physically, no.
indeed. the routine here is getting tedious (no offence to anyone in particular, but the signal to noise seems to have degraded significantly). i miss the quality nerding out (with various industry cameos) of the olden days. seems most are afraid to poke their heads in here now. for good reason i suppose.
