Those plastic tricycles were way cool....the low rider style ones with the ape-hanger bars. Rear wheels had zero traction so get the back end out side ways was real easy. And sitting 20mm of the asphalt meant a super low c.o.g. I was drifting on my trike at 4 years old!

Considering these awesome custom rigs in here thouh I think I need some Monster T's for it though :biggrin:

kind of a mix between ellsworth and banshee. oh and lets not forget frankenstein.
In Rome this year, I rode and reviewed the AluTech for an Italian MTB magazine - the first frame in your pic. It had a Rohloff, 888 and some brakes I did not recognize. The unfortunately named company is from Germany. I have to say, maybe the builder is also an apelike freak like me because this was the only DH/FR bike I've ever ridden that felt very good first time, like it was my own bike - in fact it pedaled very efficiently, like a Bullit in it's middle ring, or a Sunday or my own VP free (when platform fully engaged). Usually there's an adjustment period when I hop on anyone else's bike but this thing handled impressively. Not sure about durability and I don't know anything about the company story - I let the magazine editor figure all that out. But it rode very well on a combination of pedally traversing and a rocky intermediate level race course type track.
