Damn that bike looks so killer. I hope they work out well and they didn't go to thin with it and they last. The suspension, angles etc. all sound awesome on paper. There are a few companies out there doing really innovative stuff. I want to test one ASAP!two more weeks what? Dunbar Cycles got their warranty frames. So it's go time for K
Tetreault - what number are you in the warranty recipient list?
Let's just hope that it's been done for strength^^According to the nsmb boys it came in at 37lbs^^
Really like it. But a bit heavy for full carbon?!
That's exactly what I thought.Let's just hope that it's been done for strength
The build posted above your post? That would be only 200g lighter than my 2,5k tues lolz^^According to the nsmb boys it came in at 37lbs^^

Are that new or old easton wheels? Can't spot other parts.^^According to the nsmb boys it came in at 37lbs^^

ohyeah, I forgot that Evil is actually miles ahead when it comes to broken frames. Noone can touch them in this respect.^sounds like someone who compares his dacia to a real car
I assume Evil = Dacia in this scenario??^sounds like someone who compares his dacia to a real car
sounds like a fair comparison since both customers waited a long time to get their bikes^sounds like someone who compares his dacia to a real car
a prototype breaking??? oh noeesss
This.Posting the breaking Evil frame again and again is becoming more and more ridiclous.
To be honest building a 37lb alu bike is possible without being rich. Just some cheating and some time to find the deals.Why do people expect carbon frames, which may be up to 2lbs lighter than Alu, to be 5+ lbs lighter as a built bike?
Are there parts that only work with carbon? Cant use them with Alu or?
These bikes should be no more than 2lbs off an Alu bike. If you're not <150lbs or rich, 37 is the new 40 -- it's light, and you dont need to replace things regularly.
Now someone will chime in on how they ride hard but dont do any damage to their 32lb DH bike, then a few threads later chatter about how they go through 5 rims a season......
ramble.
Just sayan before everybody joins the hype-train...againsounds like a fair comparison since both customers waited a long time to get their bikes

Can we stop posting complete weight when talking about DH frame. What happened to posting frame weights only?^^According to the nsmb boys it came in at 37lbs^^

amen.Can we stop posting complete weight when talking about DH frame. What happened to posting frame weights only?
dont worry, no one is jumping on the Tuesday bandwagon anytime soon.Just sayan before everybody joins the hype-train...again
Maybe not in the US but in yurp they are super popular. I've seen 3 in Maribor last weekend. I know of 3 in Poland, probably more. They are popping up very fast given they've only been delivered.dont worry, no one is jumping on the Tuesday bandwagon anytime soon.
with a in-line frame, they are easy to put back together. yeah there is some tight tolerances b/w the swingarm and frame, but its not that hard to put back on. rocking the swingarm from side to side makes is easier, though it did take some of the paint off of the mainframe.I hope they made it a bit easier to go back together. And friend of mine and myself tore down his Revolt to clean all the bearings a crap about 2 months ago. Taking the rear swing off was easy enough, getting it back on though, jesus christ was it ever tight.
you may be wrong...dont worry, no one is jumping on the Tuesday bandwagon anytime soon.
A crackCommon, build it up and ride it.
I definitely want to know how it rides.
Frame weight?
Also, what's that colorchange on the seat tube?
there are some wrinkles in the outer ply, the color change or the kind of brown looking stuff is excess resin. The lines that look like patches are just that, patches of carbon sheets. Its laid up, outside the tool. So they cover it in little patches on a bladder, close the tool on it and inflate. Just a little sloppy operator.Common, build it up and ride it.

Sounds about right for a bike company run by artists.there are some wrinkles in the outer ply, the color change or the kind of brown looking stuff is excess resin.

most asian carbon manufacture do this, laying up outside the tool. You are just seeing it more on the evil beacuse of the finish of the bike. Most asian companys spray a little black paint over there excess resin to disguise it before they clear it.Sounds about right for a bike company run by artists.
