Liteville - BB is high, reach is short. I could run an XL and a 26" rear wheel to solve. Probably fine but feels hokey considering I normally ride a medium/large.geo of liteville/uzzi/darkside not workin' for ya?
I emailed them with what I was looking for and never heard back - assumed it wasn't up their alley.i think Geurilla Gravity will do custom stuff, the owner is @mtg
Nice, forgot about him.
Weird beardI emailed them with what I was looking for and never heard back - assumed it wasn't up their alley.
So what you're looking for is sort of a ride everything bike with the freedom to get there by pedaling. Sort of a ride freedom bike.......or a free ride bike for short.....Looking at possible custom build options for a 180mm DH bike with a climbable seat post angle.
Yeah, I'd like a bit more travel; and while I usually try to be agnostic about aesthetics, that is one fucked up looking bike.new delirium not quite enough travel?
I also like the idea that you can also buy VT maple syrup off his site!
Yeah, there's no shortage of sick unobtainable German bikes right now...it's driving me nuts.Yet another bike we can't have. This thing was supposed to be available by now and had a decent looking seat angle in prototype form, albeit a little less travel at 172mm.
I think you are nuts. Kinematics are going to make a greater difference than a 6% change in travel. I'd be way more likely to go with an ugly bike I can test ride than a custom bike or some German vaporware.Yeah, I'd like a bit more travel; and while I usually try to be agnostic about aesthetics, that is one fucked up looking bike.
I don't put much stock into linkage design numbers. It's hard enough to predict how a bike will ride based on a geometry chart. It all comes down to how they actually ride for me.Their anti-squat numbers suck as well - http://linkagedesign.blogspot.com/2015/11/knolly-delirium-275-2016.html. And its REALLY fugly.

Hmm, that one must have gotten caught in the NSA filter. Send me a direct email, Matt@<our url>.comI emailed them with what I was looking for and never heard back - assumed it wasn't up their alley.

No real argument there. If it was 180mm I'd be forced to consider it. While 10mm may not sound like much I'm already going down from 200mm and having owned multiple bikes with 170-200mm of travel, I've found 180mm to be the limit for my style of riding and the terrain I ride (this is my DH bike, not my AM bike).I don't put much stock into linkage design numbers.

It's pretty hard to argue that it is not an ugly bike however.
I have plenty of ride time on two Tomaso DHPs and if the above Ndurpo is anything near the dh rig it is not pedal friendly, by no means. You can hammer it straight into gnar and it will perform in an awesome way, also the CG is really nice so it's very stable and easy to lean and turn. If it is behaving like the big bike, which I don't know.how about http://www.ancillotti.com/fry.html 180mm, Pedalable,coil shock and they can do any mods you want as its built to order.
also Enduro ready
they usually sell direct, but yea the shock would be an issue in the states. James OC in suspensionwerx in Vancouver has done a few in his time tho. id love to get one but its too much bike for the stuff locally.I have plenty of ride time on two Tomaso DHPs and if the above Ndurpo is anything near the dh rig it is not pedal friendly, by no means.

I also don't know if there is an official distributor in the Land of the Free, but there is a proprietary shock in it. Just saying.
