Holy F that thing is ugly. How much did you spend on that rear der. You know what they saw, the nicer the der, the faster it will get torn off by a rock.

I don't think it is that ugly.....

On the chain guide...shuold it be rotated more clock wise? Or the upper peice moved forward atleast so when your suspension compresses the chain doesn't have to rub that guide block. I don't know maybe it is supposed to be like that....

I love that seat...I have the red/white/blue version at home in a parts box. It is like having a bike short wrapped around your saddle instead of wearing it.

All of your cables are way too short. I'm suprised you can shift the rear derailleur with it pulled so far down by the housing. And how do you brake on steep drops with your levers pointed straight towards the ground?

Well.. since I built my bike the cables are as short as I want them and everything works perfectly..
And that was how I used to have the levers in my motorcycle and got used to use it like that...any problem....!!!? :angry: ;)

I agree, How do you brake when your positioned over the rear of the bike?
Thats a crash waiting to happen when your hand slips off of the grip.
and maybe even some sort of wrist injury.
But, if it works for you. It works. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
Good Luck.

Everybody tells me that too but I run mine almost vertical. I have big hands so it's not a problem. If they are at 45 deg like most people run them, I feel like my wrists are bent back too far when I'm over the front of the bike.

If you like the ATX check this link...http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/buysell/?op=view&image=43334

And I can't be happier of how this bike rides... if you have the chance of try one you'll see.

I was gonna say the devinci was ugly until I saw this ATX and it made it look so much better. Dude, your seatpost is backwards... I think Devinci is just buying old Atx's for 500 bucks and repainting them. :evil:

enough cruelty for today

I give it a 4. The color combo is nasty but it takes some balls to attempt it, other than that it looks flexy.

somewhere hot
on a scale from 1 to TOTALY AWESOME I give it a....(drumroll please).....1

most likely the ugliest bike I have ever seen

What is with the seat? I will never understand how that seat got past the idea stage. I can't believe that somebody saw that and went "hmm, that looks pretty AWESOME!!! I just HAVE to have it!"

I've pooped out better looking bikes (probably better riding ones too).
