That's exactly what I was thinking. I just got my fist I-beam setup in the mail today and it's crazy light and it's still at full length.

Love the finish on that bike tho, satin blue looks really good.

I just took of my Thomson and put on an I-beam and dropped a fair ammount of weight in both the seat and post. (Although I do admit Thomson makes the best conventional posts.)

Anyone have any more info on this bike? All it says on the site is it's a 6" frame. I see two shock mounts, is it 6 and 7 or 5 and 6.

It's a really nice looking frame but it's tough to say much without knowing more about the geometry and such.

the Lucky is supposed to be a 7"-8" travel bike.
(the Balance is the 5"-6")

if it has the right geometries and a high enough bb clearance, that could be my next purchase..

Does anyone know when Lance is going to make it a production bike?

BTW, does anyone else think that adding HT gussets would make that bike look 100X meaner?

i believe the bike is steel, and if it's been built properly, they aren't nearly as necessary as on an aluminum bike.

I thought the lack of gussets was a nice change from the norm...the frame looks so clean. Yay steel.

Sweet bike.

Not to derail but hey Radarr are you rocking a Rocco on a vp-free? Got a report?
Yeah, I am, but I see you already saw my thread about it. I'll report after this weekend probably, let everyone know how it is.

I just bought a 06 FLY. If the Lucky was available, I would have bought one instead of the Fly. I want one in orange.

Im not a suspension guru but what suspension is the Lucky?
It's a floating rear end. Same thing as DW, VPP, Mastero. Everyone just tunes it a little differently.
