What do you think about this?

Looks nice but ....It's a mountain bike action review, so I'd take that write up with a grain of salt

 

[motomike]

^^It's not a review.

That looks very nice Brian. The only thing I see would be to maybe try and tuck that reservoir up and in a little. But I'm sure there is some very good reason for why it's where it is.

 

[Brian Peterson]

It's still a very early prototype... Things will most likely be different by the time it becomes a full production item.

Which is when?

When??When!!!???

 

[Brian Peterson]

Most likely an 07 product....

Looks promising. I really like the idea of significant differences among the platform settings. I don't think the Fox RP3 are distinct enough, for the kind of riding I do personally I would like a bigger range from heavily damped to wide open.

Sweet, with my Marzocchi RAC fork, Campy mtn group and Chris King BB, I should have the sweetest vaporbike

 

[Brian Peterson]

LOL!! But, a few of the RAC's did actually go out the door... But most of those that were built ended up being not sellable...

Except it's not really for the XC crowd-it's directly competing with the DHX air market. All mountain, 4X, enduro style bikes.

Hahaha, and yeah actually there was at least two campy mtb groups, the original storm trooper stuff and the much-nicer-but-still-off-the-mark Record OR. I still have a set of the Record OR cantilevers and levers, sweet stuff.

Euclid did exist, and Campy makes a Centaur-quality flar bar shifter. While I doubt there would be any market, it is a shame they don't make a 110bcd crankset, and longer cage derailleurs. One could only drool about what kinds of brakes they would make...

Man.......your turner lucky 7 is going to be sweet.

 

[Heath Sherratt]

But not as good as my Cannondale Gracia...

 

[BMXman]

I would kill for a 'zocchi RAC...just for a collectors item...D

Campy is off the back on cranksets in many ways - square taper anyone?

I am no campyphile by any means, but the tapered spindle has one huge advantage: bigger ball bearings inside the BB shell. I have never heard anyone complain about a lack of stiffness but there are complaints about external BB's.
