Somehow I cannot get excited for Intense prototypes anymore. They lack the good looks of old.

Funny, that this proto was made for Matti Lehikoinen, a total dwarf.nice kids bike
Was he okay after he crashed it headfirst into a wall?Funny, that this proto was made for Matti Lehikoinen, a total dwarf.
Cesar Rojo @Mondraker? Or has it been the Barel era Konas?Anyone remember what companies truly pioneered sub-65 degree HTA’s?

I mean, he didn't try to climb a million feet a year or something like that, so I would say "yes".Was he okay after he crashed it headfirst into a wall?
Willing to bet at least one Intense ended up with one unintentionally and got sold that wayAnyone remember what companies truly pioneered sub-65 degree HTA’s?

My old DH frame with a -1deg headset gas the same HA as my current downcunty.It's amazing how every old skool DH bike pic now looks like it was taken in the fairground's hall of mirrors
I think people in the 90s were experimenting with this…Cesar Rojo @Mondraker? Or has it been the Barel era Konas?
Some early oranges had sub 65 deg but generally the trend started just after the IH sunday craze of 2008. So Mondraker is a good bet. Intense M6 I think also was sub 65. Same for Banshee Legend but I think it was +1 year.Anyone remember what companies truly pioneered sub-65 degree HTA’s?

A lot of the 2009-2010 adjustable geo bikes had sub 65 ha. Demo 2010 also might have been 64. There is that weird geometry site that should have a lot of the old numbers
No you passive agressive Karen. I meant this:Demo 8 II
The downhill bike known for its huge 7" and 8" travel, solid components and ability to level big and burly terrain just got faster and more capable unde...www.specialized.com
specialized.com, so weird
I can't even spell Berghain properly so we both know I'm not cool.the cool kids use bikeinsight, dude. get with the times
Since when are you cool?the cool kids use bikeinsight, dude. get with the times
i‘m way younger than most of the geriatrics here which makes me automatically coolSince when are you cool?
LOL
Hangin' out with a bunch of older cranky dudes could maybe, possibly be cool but automatically? Hmmm.i‘m way younger than most of the geriatrics here which makes me automatically cool
Also, geo while braking vs not...I was trying to find geo on the Lobo, didn't find it but these vids are pretty cool-
I have to argue no kid who hanged out with random older men was ever considered the cool kid in school. Not to mention those "geriatrics" are your age. Just because some random old man took you time traveling doesn't mean you're suddenly born in 2000 and know all the tik toks. Your account here is old enough a 30 year old Hollywood actor could play it in a movie. You are fooling no one herei‘m way younger than most of the geriatrics here which makes me automatically cool
Could be wrong but from memory I think they had a 66-65ish HA (depending on fork). Definitely had ridiculously knee smackingly short reach and a high BB (especially as they only had 6" rear travel) and 17.25 chainstaysI was trying to find geo on the Lobo, didn't find it
Last time I checked I was the resident junior monkey here.i‘m way younger than most of the geriatrics here which makes me automatically cool
I don't think that's the prime usage for that thing. Would like to throw my leg over it and give it a try. Interesting approach.I wonder how that thing would feel on dynamic technical climbing.
You are supposed to run an air shock and lock out on the fire road.True, but IME, ‘Enduro’ often involves lots and lots of climbing.
Wowowowow, hold your horses cowboy. Could you please share some more data on that Sinister/FTW project?When FTW had that “variable axle path” VST project going under Sinister I never got much of chance to climb anything on it(big travel mule be like that)
The feeling of the rear end getting MUCHO longer under some circumstances didn’t take all that long to get used to though.
