Here are some pics of my new rig. I have a little riding in on it so far. It's good, real good. I hope you enjoy the pics. If you want a specific shot, i would love to accommodate. After I get real time on it, i will create a review.

I don't know. I imagine 66 or 67. I can't think of a way to measure. Got any ideas (i don't have a protractor)?Toshi said:mmm purdy. what's the headangle, could you measure that?
er, you could tie a rock onto a string, and then measure the axle-crown distance on the fork, the distance from the crown to the ground (vertically, using the rock), and the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground. but it's not that crucial 
uh... You are in Seattle, you can give it s swirl. I would like to see your rig too.Toshi said:er, you could tie a rock onto a string, and then measure the axle-crown distance on the fork, the distance from the crown to the ground (vertically, using the rock), and the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground. but it's not that crucial
What do you think of that floating rear disc so far?
looks great
have fun with it!
what shock are you using i can't tell from the one pic of the fully built bike

Looks incredible. I'm sure she'll ride similarly.
I dig their new frame as well.

looks like a Romic with Ti spring to me
Geez dude - I feel stupider eveytime I read one of your posts.Toshi said:er, you could tie a rock onto a string, and then measure the axle-crown distance on the fork, the distance from the crown to the ground (vertically, using the rock), and the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground. but it's not that crucial
honestly at first i felt the bike was kinda ugly, but with the black paint and fully built its a pretty cool looking rig.
plus it follows some of the concepts i hold dear....

What I dont get is why these frames arent more popular. Just look at the COG, its got to be super stable
I think they're relatively expensive.Lumpy_Gravy said:
Who carries them anyway? Be nice if Jenson or go-ride would pick them up.
like most small builders, their low numbers probably keeps them for the local demand, like Balfa, BMW, Knolly....Incubus said:
Some? looks like if the paint was stripped off and you threw a couple more bolts here and there it would be Zed readyzedro said:honestly at first i felt the bike was kinda ugly, but with the black paint and fully built its a pretty cool looking rig.

neaky: hehe
ahh, only to the untrained eye. Thats like me saying the ElCuervo is like a DHR without the ugly stickers :evil:leprechaun said:Some? looks like if the paint was stripped off and you threw a couple more bolts here and there it would be Zed ready
hehe
PS...are you still having trouble finding a pulley? because i may have something usefull for you with 11 teeth on it
I took a quick ride on one of those at dirt demo... Even though the was a little small and undersprung for my fat arse, it still felt quick on the pedals when getting on the gas.. Pretty impressive.

nice comeback!zedro said:
Yeah i could certainly use a pulley.11t sounds good,less=friction and wear,more is simply too large for my application.Thanks.
Agreed. I thought it was one of the ugliest bikes I had seen. But now that it's mine, and it rides sooo nice, it's a little more pleasing to look at.zedro said:
a couple reasons would be that there is not one in any shop near you (unless you live on Vancouver Island), there are only 11 so far (soon 9 more), i think most people want the sure thing in stead of the near prototype.zedro said:
I don't think it's too expensive. it's less then Intense, Foes, BMW, Demo, ..... 3.2k CAD with the Hub and BB. That's about 2.3k US. Then take the hub and BB cost out of that and it's about 2000. Not to bad. And on top of that he helped make the deal sweeter in other ways too.

I want to get the Freeride oneI HEARD IT WAS FLEXY. And will there be a DH-one for freeriding?
haha aaaawesome bike!

Here is an updated photo of my DH One. I had a few small issues with the frame but have it back together again.
Kyle (Mr. PDC) is a good person to do buisiness with. He went out of his way to take care of me. I highly recommend working with him.
I have some new toys coming for this. When it's set up I will clean it and take some real photos.

Glad to hear they took good care of you. Cant wait to see it at the races.
man, that design is really growing on me more and more...
I will never be able to get over the low standover of those bikes. Must be stable as hell.
I purchased a cool pipe angle tool (basically a plumb bob/protractor tool in a 4"x4" square). It measures down to a half-degree and provides a really good reference for course set-up. Costs about $10 and be found at Home Depot or Lowes.
- I know, really nerdy
but I got the idea from the Giant Team mechanics who were using a digital version to set up Dustin Adams bike at the Wisc. NCS a couple of years ago. It at least gives me an actual "limit" to know where I like my setup to run between.JF
Only one problem with it...if they get it dialed I'de even consider one after I'm done jumping company to company...
If they can reduce their unsagged chainstay length to sub 16" it'd be viable. Otherwise, you're riding a bike with 18.5+" chainstays under sag...they have a LOT of extension.

the thing with high pivoted bikes is when you corner you want to weight foward, this actually causes the chainstay (and wheelbase) to shorten making quick turns easier.neversummersnow said:
I was worried too about being able to corner in the tight sections but its no problem, you just have to ride the bike differently.
jeff you switch bikes like ron jeramy through partners dog. hey are you goin anywhere for break? if not we should rip some **** up
That Bike looks like it has a really low standover Height.
Or is it just the pictures?
That looks like a good ride for my wife if it does.

yeah, and i dont its structuraly possible to make standover any lower than that.bpatterson6 said:
Very low. I think the lowest. One of the reasons I looked toward this frame.bpatterson6 said:
I like it. I'm hoping she will too.zedro said:
It also looks remarkably similiar to the Lawwill design that The New Rotec RL9 is sporting.
Im assuming it is the lawwill design.
What type of shock does it take? Will it take the progressive 5th Element?
