SHIIIIIIIIIIT yo! dopest one I have ever seen
We are putting together an "owners list" for all old school Evil owners. Just PM or email us (info@evil-bikes.com) your contact info, bike info, and serial number and we'll put it on the list for you!
coudnt agree more, thats what I wanted to build up, but had to settle
for a Yeti DJ version of that bike
All these great pics!!
If I remember correctly, the Imperial with the shiver was done as a real-world test/confirmation of the load/impact the front end of the frame could take.
Others just like that much fork up there. At the time, folks were running these as downhill machines.
haha, those things ripped for DH.....don't know about putting 8" forks on them but......i had a buddy in town who wanted to race DH at plattekill back in the day but didn't have his dh bike....i threw 2.8" comp 32 michelin tires on my imperial with a 4" travel fork and an 8" front rotor just for that weekend. He and i alternated using my Turner DH bike and both raced that but.......
in practice on the imperial i was cleaning a line that most of the experts and pros couldn't....aside from myself i only saw nobman, lars and g.r. do it.....that bike rode so good when pointed down.....
unless you've owned one and have tried it..don't hate!....D
Imp/Shiver is one of the best feeling frame/fork combos I've ever run for rocking out shuttle runs, DH, and general playing around.
That '05 Mercedes silver Imp posted above is mine, the pic is from when I first built her up and used some parts off my DH build.
What's funny? My singlecrown Manipoo Shermans have a larger a/c height than my Shiver, and don't feel near as good when pointed down. I actually just put the sc's back on her two days ago, and think I'll pop the Shiver back on...
Am riding in a few hours, I'll get pics of what she looks like now and post up.

Last incarnation:
Now:
The Sherman feels like ass. I don't like it, and am remembering
why I took it off and put my Shiver back on before...
Did some trailbuilding yesterday, and we came up with
a couple of new decent sized doubles and gaps.

Frenchy rides on with the Shiver lowered to 170mm angles looks good. Not that its a bike I would ride.
Great looking bikes and I can't wait to see what will happen with the new owners.

So here's the old Imperial. Dang, I miss it...
And here is the current ride, the Sovereign in AM mode:
Reynolds goodness...
Doesn't she just beg to be ridden...

that photo was many years ago... nov 2003. that would've been an off-camera 420EX via a ST-E2 on camera, along with supplemental lighting from a HID i had laying around and whatever else i scrounged up.
from the bokeh it looks like the 50/1.4 at at least f/8.
or evil could have the dw link for 09 and completly knock off the sundaya sunday done up like an imperial. awesome
I think I shall never sell her now
