Hey Gollum, I will snatch that of of you at a moment when you're bizzy eating maggots, bring it with me back to the Shya where the hills are greener, faster and more fun.

The brown is even better in the flesh.
What a few days we had, being the first non Sunn people to ride it!!! Get in!!

What shock is that on the brow one on the ride central site?
yes x-fusion, and it performed faultlessly.
Very impressed with it, we did have a few to choose from which had different characteristics through tuning. but all in all a very good performing shock.

Is it possible to fit an air shock or is the linkage rod part of the shock?
still want one
i might know someone making aftermarket linkages for other shocks
for a bike barely even available?
Ahhh I really like the look of that frame..
Looks fast

The brown is very nice in the flesh as well. pics dont really do the colour justice.
yes because the few of us getting them here in the states might wanna try out some different shocks and some new proto ones
The only one i could see you being able to fit without manufacturer input would be a double barrel, this is due to the rebound adjuster having to be relocated on things like DHX5, Revox and after market Roco's etc...
Just found this, so nice.
i like that. i don't love it, but i do like it.
This may have been said, but the linkages/layout look suspiciously like what has been on more than one Sintesi.
I take it you mean the Bazooka?
I think that frame was maybe a couple of years after the first radical. Plus the pivot on the Bazooka is on the downtube and the linkages are in front of the seatube.
But a good Question, gave me something to google for a while.

Haha. Yeah, that was what came to mind - - or maybe the Rumba? (But maybe not - -I'll have to study all 3):

Ah I can see what your getting at, but it doesnt have anything that really resembles the Radicals linkages or system but very interesting to see none the less.Haha. Yeah, that was what came to mind - - or maybe the Rumba? (But maybe not - -I'll have to study all 3):

Do Sintesi even make bikes any more..
yes but nothing of any real interest.
The first production radicals have arrived with us, just in time for the UK bike show.
We also built up a small Prim XC into a lovely little 4X bike.

i really like the looks of the bike and the new commencal as well as this beast would be my next rides if the geometry is where i like it.
the only thing that scares me is lack of shock choices, all this one off equip., and being such a low center (all the goodies are so low) its gonna be ripping through berrings like nobodies business with the mud and fine silty dirt out here.
like threadding right into the shock itselft right?

so dose that rod just attach to the shock in the way the eyelett would?

id love to tell you but ours never ended up coming through so im on a demo for now, def getting one or a lapierre for next season
they're actually a little more like the ancilotti bikes...maybe that's what you were thinking....
You mean they were actually a little more like the ancilotti bikes...
And it's not like a turner either as the pivot is much higher. It should take rock gardens a bit better...
Regarding the shock, it's always possible to build a rod that attaches on regular shocks. People using old ProFlex frames with new shocks do this all the time as the ProFlex frames used a rod as well.
imagine a bb mounted chainguide on that hahahaha
what is Sunn's sorty? Why no Radicals? Did something go wrong with their production run back in March/April?
yes, i broke into the factory and ate them all.
i saw something earlier that's kinda put me off being a fan of the

people already commented that it was like the old rts setup, don't know why it would put you off, it's not an identical design, although there are clearly some similarities.....
no. the bb floats in the i drive setup. in this it'll move up and down a lot with that swing arm. F- that.
