Yikes. I knew it would cost a lot, but that's a little scary.

 

[Spahman]

god......
I wish I made more money..

 

[monkeyfcuker]

With the current exchange rate into £££ that's a pretty standard RRP for a frame, you guys have it waaaaay to easy. I will seriously hate to see the price after it's been through the UK distributor!

Ditto in Aus... it'll end up like $6500. Billion.

Not all frames are crazy expensive in the uk. All freeborn prices are pretty decent. Seen some other good prices too although i have to agree - most us prices are crazy low anyway.

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

I'm not a Homer. Are these made at SAPA?

[Muttely]

Most likely, it will be that price, but with a £ in front in the UK.

Seriosuly? How many frames over 3k£ you see in the uk? Most ones are in the 1800-2500 range. Some for less. Banshee legend with 2999$ msrp goes for 1999 pounds. Don't get overly pesimistic

 

[gemini2k]

Damn that frame looks overly complicated. Lots of machining and welding on there.

 

[Bikael Molton]

Ffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[HAB]

Yeah, it is at least pretty clearly an expensive frame to make. That, and the huge amount of R&D time they clearly spent on it (we've been hearing about this things for how long now?) adds up for sure.

I've heard - from a very reliable Pinkbike source - that if you breathe on the brakes wrong it'll buck you over the handlebars, too.

 

[TKCastle]

My next bike right there. Finally!

ya no joke. Definitely not cheap to make, hope its worth it.

 

[mattmatt86]

For that price it should at least come in Rootbeer

I heard Steve Hill or Sam Smith or someone said it had the worst linkage design in the world.

Hope it rides nice (esp for that price), doesn't look quite as clean as the proto but maybe the looks will grow on me.

Hopefully it looks better built up. I heard that the head angle is so steep that you will be lucky to even ride it at sea otter...

The mind control must be working on me, that's actually less than I expected.

Thats a lot less than Dave guessed it would be just 3 months back!

i like the new proto a lot more. easier access to the shock, the frame is lighter, stiffer, slacker, lower, and the tubes flow nicely. on paper this makes the Glory look like an mid-80's steel hardtail. (j/k, i would love to ride the glory, too.)

 

[HAB]

From a totally cosmetic standpoint, I like the older proto better, but the production version does have some obvious advantages.

[chillindrdude]

gotta start saving....

it'll be tough choice between the DHR and the new M6

 

[xy9ine]

odd that after a full season of testing / racing on the 1st gen proto they're going into production w/ the fully re-designed gen 2 that hasn't seen the (public) light of day. i'm assuming it's been beat upon by some pros, where be the pics?

for what it's worth, i prefer the aesthetics of the new variation; all the technical bits massed centrally & low, with clean simple structures at the perimeters. neat.

LUST Tubeless Technology
New for 2006. Maxxis Cross Country and Freeride Tubeless tires, certified to UST standards, now feature Lightweight Ultimate Sidewall Technology (LUST). LUST offers better puncture resistance, improved air retention, better longevity and lower weight than previous tubeless technologies.

Wow... looking good DW & DT! Would love to check one out one of these days!

Who's going to have on in Quebec?

That's weird... my source on Ridemonkey told me that simply exposing it to daylight can cure leprosy, impregnate virgins, and sync the carbs on a bevel-head Ducati. Although I guess our sources aren't technically contradictory.

I'm in for two.

Can it diagnose and fix subi headgaskets though?

In Quebec City, Demers Cycle is an authorized dealer.

 

[captainspauldin]

Price seems on point.. I just hate the only color option is anodized black, what is this a model t?(OK looks cooler in the proto pics, but still..)

 

[CBJ]

i like the new proto a lot more. easier access to the shock, the frame is lighter, stiffer, slacker, lower, and the tubes flow nicely.

Agree I really like you can now get to the the shock and make easy adjustments.

I agree, those renderings definitely look stiffer
