I like the new Last Bikes "Glen" frame, each size has a unique rear triangle, the effective STA steepens on larger sizes rather than slackening like many other frames. They also machine the bearing recesses in Germany after paint so you know your bearing are pointing where they should be and aren't pressed in over paint.

I like everything Last have put out in the last years, from the Kickstarter hardtail project to the Coal and now this. I used to embarrass myself in front of the guys running the company during my unsuccesful attempts at BMX when they were working on their first dirtjump frame. Good people and I can see myself buying from them in the future.

"We need to think up a new suspension design?"

"hmm..."

" what if we were to fit both the links to the top of an old Ironhorse 6 point? "

"yeah... That'd prolly do"

Pretty straightforward rocker actuated single pivot actually and preferrable to a yoke imo. I dig it.

We can never tell with you Gary, we can never tell.

Regarding that last emoji of yours: that couldn't be further from the truth for these people. One of the Last guys once asked us why it wasn't possible to smoke our weed with cardboard instead of tobacco.

Just looked at the Propain Tyee in Linkage. AS curve is weird.

New Banshee Legend looks pretty bad ass, I'd love to be able to get some ride time on it versus the Commencal.

Article said it was a proto rear on the bike they tested, release version has 14mm at a minimum for the rear.

For a DH bike, that curve looks a bit

Better hope your coil has a bottom out bumper starting at 50% of stroke.

....or is it supposed to be air only, sorry about the pics?

No, look at the starting value and ending value, that's a progressive "curve", a portion of it is regressive, but the overall curve is progressive. It still looks to be better set up for an air shock, and may have some weird characteristics deep in the travel with a coil, but that's overall progressive, 3.5 to 2.4. The graph also looks funny because it's "smooshed". What the bike will probably suck at is break-away for the air-shock, since right off the bat it's climbing fast (the LR). It's still a head-scratcher for a DH bike.

@Jm_
I understand that.
I was making a stupid joke about the regressive part at the end requiring a large bottom out bumper to compensate
Guess I should have worded it better and broken out the smileys.

Aluminum Ransom doesn’t look too shabby. And the new Gambler is really really nice.

 

[HardtailHack]

Wonder if Scott use normal size shock bolts yet or do they still use pissy little ones that snap in half?

The trunnion shock is a no go for me. Otherwise interesting bike.

[Flo33]

Ooh, so sad.

 

[HardtailHack]

Without the tacky Hope bits I think this would look okay, custom geo, 3D printed bits and you can get it in titanium-

EDIT- I take that back, looks like someone has run in to something and then just slapped a new downtube in it.

 

[Bikael Molton]

I guess those humpback top tube designs of a few years ago are retro cool now.

 

[Mo(n)arch]

Soon.

 

[slimshady]

The Big Hit returns as a 29/27.5 mullet?

 

[Sandro]

This should help my Nomad feel better about its body image issues.

 

[Bikael Molton]

Ooh I hope it gets the cheesy Demo7 tattoo art paint job.

 

[toodles]

I'm no fan of Specialized the company, but Specialized bikes are pretty damn sorted these days. Pricing is getting pretty steep though.

 

[shirk007]

Any Banshee fans still exist?

 

[shirk007]

New Slayer.

 

[xy9ine]

interesting that they repackaged the suspension platform. more of an instinct LT really.

 

[xy9ine]

also: was hoping this was a shot of your completed homebuild dually.

 

[roflbox]

New Slayer.

gah
that is
interesting

Nonetheless rootbeer!

 

[maxyedor]

Giant consistently has the best paint jobs on the market, rootbeer looks damn good.

I stand by my statement

 

[HardtailHack]

Not all that new and is currently sold out but I think this would be one of the best do it all frames out there-
Sliding dropouts aren't my thing but everything else looks the goods!

Half of you nerds are color blind, the other mostly wouldn’t know the first thing about putting colors together. Let’s go on ridemonkey and argue about colors!
