come on man, details/specs

the rear end is just crazy scary. plus not having a bash guard to protect your linkage is insane..

gorgeous non the less

edit
AH moto level setup

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

scary, that bike had Perry's bar/grip position setup.

 

[Jm_]

Like the GT IT1.

 

[dw]

Jonas and I are in agreement that this bike looks awesome in a sculpture/ art sort of way.

[xy9ine]

totally. looks like something hr giger would have come up with.

 

[dump]

"baby got back"

 

[jonKranked]

i'd really like to know what these guys are smoking. and where i can get it.

 

[sneakysnake]

thats awesome. how much does it weigh? both the whole bike and just the frame

 

[bballe336]

That thing is beautiful. But the BB looks insanely high.

 

[Bicyclist]

I'd be scared to ride it but the craftsmanship looks top notch.

 

[syadasti]

That thing is beautiful. But the BB looks insanely high.

Maybe even as high as the IT1

[bballe336]

It's iT1. And it looks like it's over 15 on that bike.

 

[mandown]

trials anyone?

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

Holy christ i sort of love it...sort of, it is def a work of art...

all you light weight dh guys eat your hearts out.

 

[Rik]

IT1? nah, RTS! There are some beautiful curves on that, it looks very organic. As for functionality... well...

 

[EVRAC]

Not sure why xy9ine refered to the 2-stage thread.
I guess it's going to be rockin' a Rohloff hub in there.
I'd like to see the finished product and a new website.
Beautiful frame.
MMMM, gearbox bikes.

 

[GoldCoast1969]

I like the name. (a lahar is a kind of mud avalanche type thing that comes with a volcano eruption)

 

[bballe336]

Most people who have passed 9th grade know that. But thanks anyways. Also it's mud and vaporized lava.

 

[Bicyclist]

I had no idea what a lahar was. Maybe it's because I never took geology.

Watch the discovery channel more!

 

[Bicyclist]

I don't have tv.

 

[ÆX]

looks like he got some molds!

last time i talked to him, well,.... the only time he said he
built the over a wood plug then cut it out and sanded the crap
to make it look smooth.

now the outside look to be molded no sanding with a maching inside
or blater.

those are some clean part. but i never liked my lower swing link.
they do get hit hard.

Me neither. I know what it is because my school system isn't crappy

Anyways now you know. And the name fits very well with suck a slick downhill bike.

 

[ÆX]

looks to have a 4-1 leverage ratio.
bit off the back there.
but with the shock placement that is the way it has to be

 

[Bicyclist]

Since I'm feeling belligerent, what math course did you take as a freshman?

 

[bballe336]

Alg1 Honors. Ps: it was a joke (note the smilie).

alg 2 here bitch ahah jk why did this turn into an education argument

 

[wood-dog]

it sure is super-cool, but the rear triangle looks flexy!

 

[mxer338]

so what kind of suspension is it? geo? is there much info on it

 

[bballe336]

Looks to be a linkage assisted single pivot.

 

[dhkid]

the suspension pretty much looks like a pdc solaris, but maybe doesn't rise?

That thing is beautiful. But the BB looks insanely high.

i think it was intended as a light weight freeride bike.

 

[ragin-sagin]

It looks like a cannondal scalpel and the IT1 had a bastard carbon love child. The finish quality on that carbon is shockingly perfect.

 

[XGrantX]

IT was designed as a dh race bike. someone said they are around 42 with a resonal build

 

[thaflyinfatman]

Yeah, which is strange because the older Lahars had insanely LOW bottom brackets (Sundays looked like skyscrapers in comparison).

 

[syadasti]

Not at all, its a FR bike and the geometry is all wrong for DH racing.

dang maybe i should have stayed those extra 2 years for a ph.d then to make it 9 years in college.

maybe you could send him a carbon upright to go between the two pivots of the rear triangle

maybe coz rocks would eat the lower link for lunch? mmmmm..... carbon.

 

[Nately27]

I believe they designed that rear triangle to flex, particularly the chainstay, as there is no pivot at the rear wheel. Sorta like the ibis softail, or the old gary fisher sugars.
