Like you I would love to find out a price range for the Marque or Konig. Especially since I am looking for a bike right now and would hate to buy a bike then find out that I could have got a Corsair if I had waited 2 to 4 weeks. Hopefully someone will have an answer for us soon, or Doug may happen to pick up the phone. I sent an email and got a response that there will be more info soon, hopefully that will be within a month.Well none of that is good news at all! I'm going to fill up his machine's tape... tee hee!
Any idea where in Washington? Bellingham area perhaps? That's what I am hoping, cuz I am moving there in May, and I want to work for them. Bellingham area seems to be a hot spot for bike companies with both Kona and Transition located there.made overseas, based out of washington im pretty sure and offices in cali. i could totally be making this up right now but im pretty sure thats what i was told
2:1 pfft......... I am holding out for a 0.5:1 bike to come out!
I love MTB marketing.
Seriously though the bikes look really nice. Wonder what the optimum ratio range is? MX bikes run around 2.3:1 for a little perspective.
Nah, your more of an anoying person who talks alot rather than a funnier one.Yes, I talk a lot. But I'm funny. You'ld be laughing and buy me a beer to keep it rollin...
Most off road vehicles including atv's, dune buggies and race trucks run around a 2:1 ratio. Their range is probably 1.75:1 - 2.25:1. I don't see why bikes shouldn't be similar as it allows lower spring rates and easier shock tuning, which is probably why most manufacturers are starting to lower the motion ratios.2:1 pfft.........

Interesting maybe, but 1:1 or lower ratios don't really work that well. It would be difficult to tune the shock damping to work for the slow shaft speed and low spring rate that would be required.It'd be interesting to try building a 1:1 trail bike with the 5"-stroke shock from a Foes 2:1 Mono...
Will do, but only because you're entertaining...For sure. Anyone headed to Interbike be sure to catch some pics if possible. Also tell him Cody from South Dakota says "hi!" Again...
Any info on these pedals???the bikes are nasty and pablo is a great guy. real bad ass company producing awesome looking bikes that ride really well. you guys have to check out their pedals. one of the lowest sets i have ever seen (think old atomlab but thinner) but without the bearing and bushing woes of old
dude, seriously? will they have a demo at interbike? i might go if so. very nice looking frame and price.Maelstrom Frame including rear shock, headset, seat clamp and Maxle will sell for $1699. Should have a ton more after interbike.
