New Lapierre
- Thread starter tastes like bur
- Start date
what does that mean?I personally think the bike looks great, tube proportions, shapes, its clean, and I personally appreciate clean Industrial Design work in any product, including a bike.
... I think Socket is reading the wrong thing into your impressions about the bike.
dw isn't the kind of guy to bag on someone else's design - it's all about an appreciation for the cool, new, original designs that are out there.
Agreed - the new DH920 does have a nice Industrial aesthetic to it - and the chromed frame with the gold accents is pretty cool too.
Like others - a bit concerned about shock protection near the front of the BB. Maybe a removeable skid-plate would be a nice addition.

hope it get's out soon, wasn't this model going to go just 8 inches instead of the 8'75 the dh230 had?
just figured something out....
look at the second pic down(the one looking up at the bb area).......the lower chainguide mount has a proprietary piece that's anno gold and custom made....it bolts right onto the bb shell......
those top two screws by the glory hole must be the same thing, only for the top guide box
kind of cool that the LG1 has become such an industry standard that this company has designed it's bike around it......

...among other DW designs...
I thinks its a beautiful bike. The clean line from the top tube through the seat stay looks fantastic. Its a pretty popular design element at the moment (spesh and giant) but Lapierre have really raised the bar for what classifies as industrial cool.
The gold and polished alloy is old school new school cool.
How about some gold I9 hubs and spokes with black rims to roll on that beastie?
