Hot damn Andrew! That is sweet!

Sorry I didn't call you on Sunday, I wasn't down to ride after wiping out on Tunnel, still sore.


EDIT: before the E13 mafia beats you up on this, you might want to clock your guide a bit

Cortina looks great, always a fan of Adrian's work.

I'd be down to try it out for just a bit.

I think I'm probably going to end up with a full-on DH bike though because at this point it looks like I'm going over to Spain next year.

Interesting - what's going on around the BB? Does the link "soften" the arc of the rear wheel to attempt to make the wheel path more vertical?
its just to stiffin it up and it works!!...the rear is super stiff especially with the 165mm rear end

that cortina looks awesome andrew! i bet that ROCO is smooth on that rig.
yea it was but i blew it up second run..granted it was valved for adrian and i have about 60lbs onhim....it actually had all custom internals made by adrianand felt really good i had to put the dhx back on it and it was a major downgrade...if anyone wants to trade a dhx for a swinger or revox im down..(adrain has been gutting them and putting his own internals in it, eliminating the spv) its brand new only about six runs on it

the frame was about 6 months old, the guy was riding for the uk importer, all the cracks happened at fort william a few weeks before the world cup, it is a rough course and every one knows its a bike wrecker.

he now rides an ironhorse and has'nt had a problem with it.
