A big thanks to Karpiel and everyone else who helped out!!! Here are a few pictures of the new bike, I just finished it today. Hopefully I'll be trying it out at N* next Sat the 20th, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the poor quality pics.

 

[dexterq20]

Needs red alloy spoke nipples. Oh, and nice work bench.

Is it me, or does the head angle look really steep? Might just be the angle from which the pic was taken.

 

[kidwoo]

That's gonna be a sick paper weight.


How much them pedals cost?


I'm kind of disturbed by how nice that bike looks.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

It's fairly steep, but not too bad. I believe it's around 66-67 degrees. It's a 10" travel bike so with the sag it slackens out.

Pedals........... a lot. They are truly a work of art, Tyler @ Twenty6 is a real nice guy. He also has some new goodies coming out soon too

So disturbing in a good way? Are we intrigued?

 

[chriscarleton]

with all of my wise a$$ cracks and bullsh!t, I had some of the best times of my life on this bike.

Well........duh


Get your ass up here so I can ride it. It's your duty as an overseas representative.

 

[gruczniak]

Brian nice Job.
New disco is really nice but your build is breathtaking.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Yah know Kevin, sometimes you're just too hard to read.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: I'll be there on the 20th.

Hopefully that Frenchy-Canadian guy will be there too!

 

[TKCastle]

dont ride it, hang it on the wall.

 

[Tootrikky]

Looks better than I expected...quite nice! You should post a pic of an old Disco to compare.
Can it be slackened it out a bit by adjusting the eccentric shock mount(s)?

 

[ilostmypassword]

To much red. It reminds me of a bike you see in Kmart too- I think its the decals.

But if it rides well- who cares eh.

 

[TankerX]

The bike looks very nice! As the sport was progressing, I've know Karpiel as the Huck-a-roo machine but the look has defintely changed!

 

[Nick]

holy crap!
looks good Brian.

 

[zahgurim]

Looks good!

Need to post a pic beside an old Disco for comparison.

 

[Pip3r]

a bike that dialed and the tires are on backwards? cmooooon

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Thanks all. I maybe able to get the head angle a little more slack. Now that it's built, I'll be able to dial it in more.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Here's my old Disco from late 2001/2002

As far as the tires go, I ran them the direction of the arrow. This is the first time I've ever used Comp 16's. I've always used Comp 32's & 24's. I'll probable turn them around, but want to try them this way first.

 

[ire]

Your new Disco is damn hot....I like that you matched all the bits

 

[BigMike]

Looks pretty sweet, congrats!

 

[Ian Collins]

wow.....congrats....that thing looks so insane man........

 

[RD3]

Looks sweet! Nice selection of parts.
Do you have the geometry #s for that frame?

 

[IH8Rice]

are those the RS7 cranks?
and is that a adjustable travel cam like the Armageddon?


and btw, the bike is too clean, but it still looks fast.....red=fast

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Yep, they are RS-7's


I'll have some numbers by this weekend.

 

[Kanye West]

Goregeous bike. Looks steep as hell though.

 

[zane]

I literally just said "wow" and my dog looked at me funny......

Beautiful bike, and it looks like a capable machine too. I like the changes they've made.

 

[zane]

And like he said the angles will slacken out..... he'll probably have around 3 inches of sag in the rear. That'll do a lot to the geometry.

 

[John P.]

with all of my wise a$$ cracks and bullsh!t, I had some of the best times of my life on this bike.

Of course you did - you were 16, had a mullet, were driving around New England to a sick race series in a badass stabbin' cabin/mini-van, and your parents were footing the bill. Who wouldn't be having the time of their life??!??

 

[mandown]

ba-da-bling!

 

[Zark]

Can you lower the travel and slack it out like the old ones?
67 is ehhh....not my cup of tea

 

[Brian HCM#1]

Hey!!!!! What's wrong with a mullet? That's the hair style of choice in the mid-west

 

[Prettym1k3]

Brian, that looks fantastic!

I'll be up at The Star on the 20th on my 7pointRAW.

See you there!

 

[yuroshek]

looks good man, def turn the tires around you will have much better ride with them "backwards".

i love how a few days ago people were rippin on the bling m6 with all the color matchin parts, and now people love it? i dont understand these internet people.... nice bike tho btw.

All Mich DH tires go the opposite way of the arrow (they are french)...they will roll faster and brake better if you swap them.

 

[karpi]

wow, Im blown away! Brian, what size is your frame? it looks like a small!? How does the bike feel in the parking lot test? Another question, why run it under 10 travel? In personal preference, Id run a smaller shock, thus less travel, put it in the progressive setting with the concentrics, and run it low and chopper! haha, are you running Easton 50? they're on the heavy side and a bit short? all in all, thats a bad ass bike you have there, Im so jelous right now! now ride it as it was meant to be ridden!

 

[Total Heckler]

Wow man, that thing is sweet. That is a really nice looking build.

You better make it out on the 20th. A lot of us monkeys will be out there!

We should talk about Hope brakes. PM?

 

[dump]

Looks cool, glad you finally got this thing rolling... it's been many months in the works.

The frame is a medium, the geometry is way different than the previous bikes. It's kinda weird, it measures a little smaller than my old med/large Armageddon, but it's bigger than my son's small Armageddon. Suspension definitely feels different than the previous bikes.

 

[TomBo]

Yummie!

 

[RD]

my first post in many many months:

tires=backwards... sorry, had to

nice bike btw!
