It looks like a big assumption to me. I have met DW before and he is a good guy. I do not think after reading everything that he was directing anything towards Aztech. Just my opinion, but just in case here is a pic of a HT with a 69 Head Angle that totally rips.

Thank you Glennder!

You know how I roll. Thank god! Tell those dudes whats up!

So that bike has a 69 head angle with a 7 inch fork?! How does it go when you get deep in the travel? gotta be pushing 71-72 degrees or so at sag. Id be curious to ride that bike. Never ridden a hardtail with such steep geometry before.

It is actually not as bad as you would think. You are more than welcome to ride it. I think you will be impressed with it. I have had many poeple ride it and say "wow" after. I have raced it for the past 2 years and I have not gone over the bars yet! That says something. I think?

I didnt slander anyone dude.
Ya might wanna re read my post a 3rd or 4th time perhaps.
I stated my opinion....and took a cheap shot of course, wich by the way was
also an OPINION.I know that
when you posted that you were bagging on aztech.....and so does everyone else that isnt somehow involved in the e13 clan.

If indeed you meant nothing bad towards aztech, you certainly should not have phrased that the way you did.
AZtech is mentioned, next post you go off about structural analysis , and unsafe issues

That was just a coincidence?.......come on. :thumb: :thumb:

I respect the helloutta DW's work. Hell, I've raced DH with a DRS on my bike! I just think that someone like him might appreciate peeps questioning his theories. No one wants to be surrounded by "yes" men all the time. He seems to question everything and that's good!

Ok, now everyone take a deep breath...
I've been away from the boards for a while and look what happens!

No Issues DW, this forum thing is grreat!
Hey Knuckles, where are ya?

I don't have a website yet. I can't keep caught up as it is! So it's pretty much word of mouth for now.

Aztech has 1 employee. Me.

The Aztech Flyin' Polack has a 69 deg.HT @4" fork, not 7".
Glennder's seatpost is 2" shorter so it makes the overall shape look a little different than the rest of them.

My limited observations:
Sean (Flyin' Polack) is a very chilled, skilled and fast guy. The guy's I've raced with who ride his Frames (Justin and particularly Glennder) have nothing but great things to say about them and the work speaks for itself.

I didn't read in a specific attack by DW at all towards Aztech. It looked to me more like a generic be carefull huckin and racing with a frame from any old backyard builder which is good advice. I also don't think cheap shots are DW's style at all and I think the attacks directed at him are unwarrented and embarrasing particularly in a local racing scene as small as New England where most of us have lined up together at a race.

Penguin Killer has the Turd Ferguson version of the Midas touch, every post he touches turns to crap. Nothing more than the typical over reaction consipacy theroy shouting to be heard standard issue steady stream of paraniod childlike ranting for fun. Take it for what it is.

Dude, how about being a little late? I'm quite glad you chimed in, but this was actually concluded over at the DHD forum, as well as here when Sean posted. So why are YOU trying to start it up again? As far as me destroying posts... this thread was just about DEAD on the first page before I typed one word, now we're at 4 pages. You do the math moron.

Edit: I thought it was 5 pages, fixed so it reads 4.

That was all? Goof on me for calling you a moron? What about all the OTHER points I made?
Sometimes, people's so-called points are so weak that they deserve no comment...

FP, total props for you to come here and straighten this out, as the
who came on here spewing all sorts of crap potentially did more harm to Aztech than anything that was said previously. Good luck with getting everything up and running, and hope you don't get any more "help" promoting the brand... :thumb:
