Todd, you should purchase a large quantity of these and have one ship with every new Evil frame.

they should be handed to every non-biker at the Mt. Creek waterpark.

i was told directly from the trek chief designer's sales rep's friends sisters boyfriend that sam hill going to specialized was actually all a big sham while they
perfected this badboy. they designed it so that sam could accurate out of corners faster. it weighs 4 lbs and uses a mix of a modified DW link mixed with a jackshaft and a pivot on the chainstay 6mm off the fsr system....... its gona be a winner for sure

Ok guys,

You're kidding right. Right after RS pulled an early release date for the Boxxer thatt I was set on, but do to them not keeping to their dates I settled for a Galvanized Totem Solo-Air. And now they pull this clean black one out of their pocket?

I gotta do some calling, lol. Hopefully nothing changed internally...

I must say though, I am very impressed with my totem so far!

Post is a couple of years old, seat looks promising. Can't fault my SDG Bel-Air I-Beam seat though.

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

My wallet's sweating... Interesting, I thought woodgrain would be the logical choice for the Totems... Wood, Totem pole, get it?

The new Kore I-Beam is a cold forged alloy. supposed to be very tough, doesn't take as much torque on the bolts to get the clamps tight as there is no plastic to squish. Weights are supposed to be pretty close to the plastic. they had some different colors too red, blue, green, etc.

 

[RUFUS]

What's the word on the Vivid? Any significant changes?

 

[juanbeegas]

The Totems are hot!!! If those are sag markings on the stanchions... All air shocks should have them from 15-35% in 5% increments in my opinion.

Woodgrain isn't on the Totem, those are above. The woodgrain fork is an RST SPACE dirt jump fork. Still sick though.

You got me thinking though, I have a totem, some coppered color woodgrain would match my bike perfectly. Hmmm, maybe next year...

Reposted for complete awesomeness.

Hands down the hottest bike this year.

Integrated fork bumpers and real chain stay protection from the factory - is this really possible?

The R9 has integrated fork bumpers, always has.

Damo, I am going to have to disagree on the hottest bike. The front triangle is nice, (trek triangle) and it has a glory hole, plus the rear triangle is one mass of ugliness.

Not a fan.

I dunno, Danny Hart had that same paintjob at Vigo last weekend, and it looked amazing in the flesh.

Damo has been brainwashed by the French.

No American will believe you when you use the words 'French' and 'Wash' in the same sentence.

 

[Sandwich]

that lapierre is a beauty...shame about the glory hole though...really ruins the asthetic, despite the logic, of the bike.

I think 1996 is coming back. Control Tech is back in the market, and the first over9000 posts were all of multi-colored ano parts. silly. Still waiting on 3d violet.

 

[frango]

Did anyone find any pics of e13 LG1+ and SRS+ from Taipei?

 

[AtTheGates]

Anyone have better pics/info on the DT-swiss fork? I'm curious if they are using a one piece crown/steer like the SID or a pressed/bonded similar to a conventional setup.

 

[Damo]

Must.
Love.
Lapierre.

 

[LittleBIGjumP]

Yeah nice but, better in chrome.... but at the end of the day its French.

Looks MUCH nicer painted than it did polished, imho.

There had to be at least 100 different people taking pictures (that I saw during my brief 2 days at the show). Can't believe that none have showed up yet.. I love the guys who do the whole 360 with their video camera.

At least they're not playing pocket pool while they do it... I hope.
