WTF is that rotor?

 

[Li'l Dave]

Yuck, Fuglies Are Us!

 

[RaID]

i thought they were czech bikes

cant say im a fan

 

[Bobodaclown]

I think they are ugly.

I'm sure when I was at Euro Bike last year I saw a gear box bike from them?

 

[MaxDamageDA]

Dragster is really cool baby, my friend owns one.

Those are yet not as much durable as older ones , bandit fr and dh was the best single pivots out here few years ago. Theyre keep going till today.

 

[Downhiller]

what is that photo shop in that HT bike (disc rotor)?m or its real ?

 

[Bicyclist]

Nice sleek Euro styling.

 

[Dr. Ill]

Trying to make inivations... must be european.
That rotor is off the hook!!!!!!!!!

 

[dhbuilder]

the italians should stick to making ferraris.

[dexter]

that rotor is fn huge mang

 

[stiksandstones]

horrible

 

[jonKranked]

those aren't rotors, those are spinners. bling bling!

 

[mandown]

do you think they look at US bikes and go :looney: ?

 

[dhbuilder]

do you think they look at US bikes and go :looney: ?

hmmm.
yeti's, iron horse sunday's. intense's. santa cruz's. specialized. etc...
i don't think so.

ever since i got my first mt. bike back in 1985. the euros have been been creating and trying to sell some of the ugliest and stupidest designs, trying to be trendsetters.
looks like they still haven't quite figured it out.

so they can look at us however they please.
the u.s. manufacturers have nothing to fear.

 

[Downhiller]

only eu bikes which are "nice" are orange and nicolai...

 

[dhbuilder]

i agree.

somebody recently had a picture of an orange(color) orange posted here recently.

that was a good lookin bike.

 

[sayndesyn]

must be a special stunt rotor for 1/4 mile stoppies or something..

 

[Hailight]

:mumble: :redhot:

picking on us europeans again

trying to be trendsetters.
looks like they still haven't quite figured it out.

don't forget that a european invented the horst link

but I have to agree with you guys, look at the nicolai gearbox frames, I don't know but that's not pretty if you ask me...

 

[Spitfired]

I think these Ancillotti frames partially redeem the Italians.

 

[BRM]

Ugly?? MAybe ..but well made and fast? LEts see a ride report and some real feedback. Both bikes seem to use no kind of modern geometry/linkage or shock technology. They are a simple single pivot.

 

[Downhiller]

Ancillotti canmake you custom bike just for you, you give him height, weight, how long are your arms, and legs and he will made unique bike...(hear that from dh friend - his friend in italy have custom bike from Ancillotti)i dont know is he still doing that..

ps. Ancillotti sold to specialized or some very quality and "famous" company system for rear shock...(i am not shure which brand)

 

[RaID]

AFAIK that would be Giant

youll see quite a few similarities between the original Giant DH 2001-2006 giant dh comp an acillotti bike DH from 2000

 

[dhbuilder]

i'm no framebuilder by any means. but that thing looks like a noodle. it doesn't look like it would last very long where we ride.

Where do you ride?

 

[tomvan72]

For real, the rock will let a bike know who is boss.

Ancilotti's are really kickass. Nice plush pigs, kinda the workingmans last 4 seasons Commencal, Except Ancillotti has been building nearly that exact same bike since '97 or so.

take a real close look at my downtube and b.b.shell. or any other square inch of my bike. or any other "local bike".
only the strong survive.

I'm sure. I had seen Profro's old dh9. He and windrock gave tht bike a beating. Now on his new bike, its going to be the same case. The trail will "test out" anybike. Gotta love it. All bikes should test there.

yep giant, i know its some "famous" bike company..

 

[humprabbit]

Im the UK importer of RaceBike.

checkout the build for my sons race bike.
These frames are handbuilt quality and are from the Czech Rep not Italy.

 

[Downhiller]

looks heavy

 

[humprabbit]

that is probably the comment i have heard most.
Its actually 9.5lbs with shock, which means it builds up really light.

 

[Kevin]

Ive seen guys racing RBs at some German races, pretty fast too.
That black one looks pretty nice imo...
