Save this picture and if anyone asks "what will happen when I add a 1 inch longer shock" question......

Damn that reminds me of the old Convert a XC rig to DH era of DH racing.....but on steroids.

On the plus side the HT angle seems good.....:D

is that the azonic hammer?
also, didn't WB make a clamp mount stem that put the bars above the steerer tube

notice if it didn't have the goofy stem/bar setup it would be a 4/5inch saddle to handle bar drop.

all in all .... 'thats HOT!'

Ok Ok you have to complete the designers statement for me "we have set the seat tower this much higher than the head tube because............."

It's good for mostly extreme xc/freeride

It's where you never actually leave the ground, but still do huge ladders, teeters, walllrides and whoops.

But it's xc so you can't leave the ground!

Thats the herbold pro model. He'll have it out at the nationals next year cause it rails flat turns and doesnt jump, perfect bike for norbas.
