I remember this bike from back in the day and just found a pretty recent youtube vid about it.
Didnt know where else to post it so figured Id make a new thread for it.

its been posted but still awesome. he's doing a video on the second iteration of the bike as well as the rear shock. i wish he had gone into more detail about the drivetrain

Yeah it would be nice to have a bit more detail on everything tbh.
But Im looking forward to the second one.

Really cool bike imo...

even back when they were first reported on i was super fascinated by it.

Wasn't it nexus hub as the gearbox?

Bike is so cool. Love the way the wheel comes out.

didn't listen to the video, but a BB concentric pivot with a "magic" shock that defies the laws of physics...no fuckin' thanks

You should just to see the back wheel removal.

Cool vid thanks for posting.

That’s one of the raddest garage designs I’ve seen. Don’t tell me how much it weighs.

It’s kind of crazy how much we DON’T worry about our derailleurs compared to back then.

pretty genius really, you can tell this guy knows his way around a machine shop. Someone over at Pivot™️ is losing their mind over the fact that he’s running a 70mm rear axle while they push forward on their new SuperMegaUltraBoost+ axle technology.
I guess this was back in 2007 maybe if he built a modern one it would feature a 276mm rear axle and beat Pivot™️ to market with it.

What if it had a backward seatpost?
