...aesthetically speaking - waaaaay better than the current Flatline.

Rocky Mountain - good work!

finaly no more ugly down tubes and bulky design.

That looks a lot lighter than the current design (which is quite heavy).

I don't see an adjustable shock position, though. Does the new version lose all of the geo-adjustability that the old frames had?

sounds like they'll have the regular ol hucker flatlines with the intro of a flatline world cup model, obviously for DH

From experience w/ Rocky Mountian bikes over the years, I doubted their engineering & production chops. This looks like a better attempt.

This bike does nothing for me...and that's kind of sad, because it should. Everything is pretty good, it just doesn't blow me away for some reason. I'm sure it's a very solid frame, looking forward to some good reviews.

I was told that you should all keep in mind that the frame is new and they wanted to work out suspension functionality and geometry with the maxxis team and that looks and details may change. I think I remember some one saying that at least?

I think it's rad...

I just went to the garage to look at mine, and I noticed right off the shock is at a different angle... The shock on this bike points up towards the headtube where mine points to the top of the front tire... Shock rate is different for sure.

funny, she's riding "old" 2-pot saint breaks....

i like it much more than the old ones.

That looks great! Looks like they reined in the wheelbase length from the old version.
