Priss! Do you have a disc mount on your 24MHz? I just talked with one from Pashly about that, and it's not available now :confused:

Hey PGR....
I didn't want to mention the other things as I just figure he was so excited to get a pic he didn't want to wait;)

But I seriously wanted to know about the cable.

I never point that kind of stuff out, I can't living in this big ole glass house! :D

Perhaps we should start a 'Band-Logo-Stealers' Fund for Helmetless Kids' together, bomber? Really bothers me to see that, too. End of rant [which happens after every helmetless pic].

F*** that! Dirt jump lids are dirt cheap!! If you can afford a bike built to survive jumping, you can afford a killer helmet, if not 5 cheap ones...

Love your sig by the way...

Very true, very true. I didn't *really* think that people refuse to wear helmets b/c of cost, though...

(Thanks...I was gonna use the little ska guy from an Op Ivy album, but he didn't scan so well...I think this one's better...though I still kinda feel like a thief.)

i personaly don't use one unless i'm doing a dh(mx one)' piss pots' as there know on this side of the pond never feel right on my head they woble when jumping and distract me and often in crashed they come off , well they do on my head, that and to me a bit of plastic and 1/2 and inch of foam doesn't really protect me i've still got ko'd when using one ok i probbly would if i han'd had one but i wouldn't be left with stiches from the shatterd plastic that was my 'pisspot':(

anyway thats my rant, the way i look at it if u don't want to don't bother and u can suffer the consiquences.

1/2" of foam and some plastic don't protect you? OK, I'm gonna hit you in the head with a hammer. Do you 1) want a helmet, or 2) not want a helmet?

Gimme a break.

Yeah, it's gonna hurt either way, but... I've crashed and been KO'd and/or recieved a concussion with a fullface on, too...don't complain that you were KO'd. Be glad your brains aren't splattered on a rock.

I'm pretty much a libertarian...so I think it's pretty much gonna be your choice to wear it or not, but I can't say I think you're making a smart or good choice.

Then again, I don't want the rest of society paying for an idiot's medical care, either, in the form of higher medical insurance.

I think this argument's gonna go on forever and this isn't the place; people want pics of hardtails here, so that's my last cent on the issue. Rebut if you will, or just send me a PM...I think everyone's prolly tired of this already. Ride on, be safe.

Cyclepro : A Swedish company... They don't really make super-high end bikes. I don't think they sell the frames seperatly...

The model is called "Xelos". From what I can see, it only comes as a complete bike. Direct link.

The price is 13.995 Swedish crowns. That's 1.356,99 US$ with todays exchange rate...

If you are serious about maybe getting this bike, it will most likely be a pain for you to get a hold of one, since you live in the Americas.

Okay, here is the review, I took it dirtjumping yesterday, it was the bike and mines first time. The bike is very balanced feeling. I thought the weight would be an issue, but it just seemed to make everything feel stable. The finish of the bike is good. It is anodised, which I admit is nice to look at but not so strong! The welds are quality, and the design seems bomb proof.

If you missed Timmy Turtle's post, it is most likely the exact same frame as the Azonic Evolution. At least it looks that way frome the pic. They retail for around 450(?)

that doesnt necessarily mean they will be the same price. with Azonic, you're paying for the name too. i am pretty sure that the eliminator-style frames differ in price too.
