The team bikes are starting to come out of orange now. Beside's Steve's personal bikes, these are the first ones in racers hands.

They seem to have relieved every machined part as much as they could, all tubes are rounded, and they finally added a replaceable dropout.

Edit: Forgot to mention then fancy new gusste do to the much smaller downtube.

 

[Biscuit]

Is that one of those new "air" air shocks?

 

[vitox]

wow

why didnt you get them orange painted all these years!

 

[Transcend]

Because they actually offerred orange as a stock color before. They do not do this now, it is a completely custom orange color. Matches my helmet nicely, heh.

 

[Pip3r]

friggen DOOOOPE. will you guys be rockin them for the remainder of the season?

 

[Supa8]

I like the Orange on the Orange better than the grey. You going with a DHX air to hit Sub 38 on that carrot.

Sub 38? Holmes, that bike is sub 38 with a steel spring now... Try sub 36....

 

[sayndesyn]

Sick... I've never ridden a dh rig that light. Do they feel a bit twitchy in the air? I've been contemplating building up a light rig for next year, but I'm afraid that I might break alot of crap.

 

[Transcend]

Not twitchy at all, and we really don't even pay much attention to the parts that hang off of it weight wise. The frame is just so damn light it makes it possible, especially if you run an air DHX.

 

[nixhexss]

i want one

edit that, im getting one

just not in carrot soup puke orange

 

[bomberboy11]

Ya not a huge fan of that orange color as well myself...saw one of the old 223's with that nice electric blue (the same one they have on the newer Corvette's) and I wet the floor below me with drool.

 

[xy9ine]

awesome. great color. toss it on a scale! vite! vite!

 

[General Lee]

so when r we gonna see this thing built up? come on get moving lol

 

[Supa8]

Sub 38? Holmes, that bike is sub 38 with a steel spring now... Try sub 36....

Now thats almost silly light. Saw the 223 in Dirt with the RP3#ish rear shock and it said was 38Lbs. 36 is getting near trail bike light.

 

[H8R]

That is the nicest Bullit frame ever.

 

[S.G.D]

:heart: :heart:

 

[binary visions]

Simple, clean lines, lightweight, and orange. I dig it.

That sounds about right, only the 224 is 1lb lighter, and dropping the floater makes it another pound lighter. Drop the coil for a DHX air and you are at 3 lbs lighter then my team bike last year.

My team bike weighed somewhere in the 38lb range. You do the math!

 

[julian_dh]

cant wait till a year from now when i can buy that frame off you for cheap neaky:

dude your DH bike is gunna almost weigh less then my STP...or will it, my STP weighs like 37 i think...

 

[blt2ride]

Very nice! I'm jealous...

 

[Cooper]

Any chanceof seeing some complete bike shots.

Those are the regular's (15").

Look for complete bikes next week.

 

[Potroast88]

I kinda like the color, even though I may be a little biased.

what was the build on the 38lb 223?
and how much does the 224 with dhx air weigh?
just curious.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

and for the obligatory:







looks flexy, killer ride

 

[CBJ]

When are we going to see the build bike?

 

[sama1ter]

dude your DH bike is gunna almost weigh less then my STP...or will it, my STP weighs like 37 i think...

havea little trouble with your 4th grade math?

38=old bike
-1lb for floater
-1lb for frame
-1lb for no coil
=35lbs

 

[bizutch]

wow....that frames just in time for you to retire it for the season with narry a scratch!

 

[AlmostHeaven]

good god. were you ever curious about learning how to read in 1st grade?

i guess that was wrong of me,but you probably can't count how many times he has ALREADY mentioned the weight either...what a sad story.

sorry to derail temporarily! AWESOME bike man! can't wait for a complete shot!

Ummm... he never said the weight in this thread, he said a pound lighter than a 223, but if you don't know how much a 223 weighs, it doesn't really help does it? I guess you weren't curious about learning to read in first grade either...

 

[dump]

where are the build pictures already????

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

not to hijack the thread but dump you should talk where are the build pics of your evil frame you were showing off way back when?

simple - it's not built. it's under my bed - don't want to spend money to build it right now... riding a used kona stuff that i got off rm buy/sell.

fraser - is building it up as simple as switching over the parts on your 223?

 

[Transcend]

Naw, just breaking the team record for getting frames for next season. So far the record was Dec 24 last year. Now we have Aust something.

Naw it isn't quite that simple. New hub and or hadley parts to swap out as I have no floater. Then some new sponsor parts are waiting to show up. Sadly, their will not be fully built pics until I return home from the UK mid September.

Orange is lending me a bike to ride over there so I dont have to ship.

Hey Fraser...my favorite quote from a Pro at Snowshoe this weekend I know who lurks here but never posts:
"What's up with that Transend guy? He's awful cocky for a guy who's not that fast."
HAR HAR....you got suuurvved....

If anyone thinks that has to do with riding bikes, they are sadly mistaken.
