all this talk of dj frames ...
my Sovereign hangs in the garage missing parts. That thing was the business for street/dj riding. I wish I could chop/weld a tapered headtube onto that frame. Slacken the HA and accept a modern fork.

What missing parts? But yes, that's what it needs. A few degrees slacker head angle and a bit longer reach.

i always thought the seat tube/ down tube junction a few inches away from the bb made them look stupid...
All this concentric talk reminded me that Rotec made a 5" travel "play bike" relatively recently, but with no website and no recent activity on their FB page, it seems Sully & Co have moved onto other things
To the best of my knowledge Sully is still working on an active rotec project, albeit hella slowly.All this concentric talk reminded me that Rotec made a 5" travel "play bike" relatively recently, but with no website and no recent activity on their FB page, it seems Sully & Co have moved onto other things
They should have named this model the "Transition"
I seem to rember that copped quite a bit of criticism on here too, but I think Rotec may have said that it pedalled well.All this concentric talk reminded me that Rotec made a 5" travel "play bike" relatively recently, but with no website and no recent activity on their FB page, it seems Sully & Co have moved onto other things
A long shot but a few years ago there was a company that kicked off and they copped an absolute hiding on here. I think the back end had a really small triangle then just a solid single piece on either side to the axle.
I thought it was something like Labyrinth, any ideas from my shit description?

Wasn't that an early design by Pole, before migrating to the Maestro/DW/Mondraker system?

Arbr Unveils Production Ready RB2 29er - Pinkbike
Arbr's first 29er is finalized and now fits the longest dropper posts going.
Unrelated, but my google search for old obscure brands brought this forgotten abomination up on my screen.

run THAT through your kimematics program, vrock!!!Unrelated, but my google search for old obscure brands brought this forgotten abomination up on my screen.
I remember when that came out. Dirt had a high opinion of it when they reviewed it.
I can’t remember but it may have been part of the early low long and slack movement.
The guy behind it is now working at GTand worked on the new fury with the idler.
Both Lenz and Rotec were making concentric-pivot DH bikes as if the design was the 2nd coming of Jesus. The ironic part that while they thought it was the "best possible" pedaling...it was actually pretty much the worst, absolutely no AS to counter pedaling movements. I think there was actually a cove at some point too? I demoed one of these pieces of crap and was blown away at how poor it was.
No, they look functionally pretty cool, as did the K9 but I think Louis works with Cannondale now, no more Cr-Mo sadly.@HardtailHack is this the company you were thinking of?

It was the thing that XY9INE post, it was one of the only frames to look hideous in black.
i remember he was also one of the first to release higher end steel coils that were light weight. he also made thrust bearings for forks and i think rear shocks.
actually i remember emailing the guy once, he sent me a PDF of the k9 catalog, i still have it, give me a bit and i'll post it
They may have also been one of the first doing angle headsets
yea, he had those, handlebars, pedals, direct mount stems.
Didn't anglesets start back in the early 2000s with this sexy beast?
I had a black for a fair while, it worked pretty well until a bushing fell out.
EDIT- New commencal fat bike-

Pretty sure FTW could make a DJ frame up to any spec you want. Not sure what it would cost but.......

i can't say for certain but i swear i read somewhere earlier this year that he's not currently accepting custom frame orders, too busy with other fabrication.Pretty sure FTW could make a DJ frame up to any spec you want. Not sure what it would cost but.......

He said something along that line when he was on Vital podcast earlier this year. But who knows, it's been a few months since.
oh yea maybe that's where i heard it. i know he's doing the welding for spooky, and maybe some other small companies. he was doing fab work for non bike stuff for a while, not sure if he's still involved with that.
What is it?Dayum
