Ya, that's some thick cut steel.Hopefully it doesn't weigh 7 lbs...
Keeping it real does not buy sandwiches.Wow cool teasers.
I thought they were all "keeping it real" and saying no 26?
yeah man that was definate the tonic fab position a month or 2 ago...ergh.Wow cool teasers.

Werd...yeah man that was definate the tonic fab position a month or 2 ago...ergh.
I'm confused by those pics, though... what's going on with the seat stay and disc mount??? Looks like nothing that could be practical....As far as developing a 26" wheel bike, I doubt it. It would certainly be an excellent commercial decsion for us, as would introducing a 135/disc brake Fall Guy. There is no denying the high frequency of requests for a bike like this. We are sincerely interested in making the Fall Guy as good as it can possibly be, either through refinements to our manufacturing process, or design. I'm simply not convinced making the Fall Guy a 26"/disc brake bike will make it a better bike for it's intended use. Many will disagree, and this is why there are plenty of other bikes out there. It's tired, but true: Variety is the spice of life.........
We are a small company, and everything we do, we are passionate about. A 26" Fall Guy would be hard for us to get excited about.
Cut the seat stay short at the disc mount, and add in a gusset like on the older P bikes? It may save a little weight on the frame.Cru Jones said:I'm confused by those pics, though... what's going on with the chain stay and disc mount??? Looks like nothing that could be practical....
Oh, I meant seat stay. Yeah, that could be it.Cut the seat stay short at the disc mount, and add in a gusset like on the older P bikes? It may save a little weight on the frame.
thats only one of the holes for the disc mount the other one would be up and out of the pic to the top left. the other dic mount goes on teh seat stay?. the larger one closer to the dropout looks like its just for weight savings? and top bar of the dropout should get inserted into the seat stay tube then welded up.Oh, I meant seat stay. Yeah, that could be it.
Hahahaha, I don't know this guy but I'm starting to like him:
Usually the Seat stay comes all the way down the the rear drop out, it doesn't it the pic shown. that's what I believe Cru was reffering too.fiddy_ryder said:

for what reason?Nice, now I just might have to buy a tonic. 24's were the only thing holding me back.
I don't like the feel of 24's when I tryed them out.for what reason?
yeah definately on this one...i think you will see this bad boy evolve over the next months...Lets just hope that Landon keeps us all posted so we can get in line for this bike...don't anyone get too obsessed with what is currently shown, if you read Landon's news thing, it says that the bike isn't going to be produced until the end of the year for us common folk. the team will be testing it for awhile, so my bet is that the concerns that some may express on here will be addressed by the time the final frame comes should it be necessary.
