Man, I am really starting to wish I would have waited to buy a new bike. I would gladly give a teste to be on one of those.
Yessiri'm gonna def get one, but i do love the blindsides. transition has more up their sleeves this year. they're doing big things
Mine will be up for sale at the end of this season .The weird thing is, even though there are tons of blindsides out there. It's really hard to find one used.
Blindside has had a two-model-year run, as did the Gran Mal before, IRRC. Kevin, Kyle and the gang had some new ideas and a lot of input on the Blindside and it's just time to progress.is this completely replacing the blindside??
You guys just put up new blindside frames: P
You'll probably see a bunch for sale pretty soon...The weird thing is, even though there are tons of blindsides out there. It's really hard to find one used.
sure is and Lapierre does it for the brake side too!LP 920 copy
Probably. The only thing that on that bike that even remotely resembles a session is the swooping downtube, and the clean executions on the pivot bolts.Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a low budget Session 88. I don't mean it in a bad way, if anything it's a plus.
This does appear to be a single pivot swingarm with a shock activation linkage.plus this is a single pivot right?
the trek has like 16 pivots i heard
reminds me of a ventana with out the complicated front triangle.
any pics of the non drive side? hopefully they raised the pivot point a bit.
That would be rather sad. Their pricing is one of the reasons that I am going to go for them when I buy a new frame.I just hope the tubing and links don't drive up the price
The suspension system is definitely close in layout to the Ventana El Cuervo. Nothing wrong with that. I've had three El Cuervo's over the last few years and really like them.
Low COG and slack, Im sure it will. Im gonna play the "I think it looks like the -insert brand name- game" IMHO it looks like one of the OG Turner DHR's more than anything, but what do I know?I bet it'll corner real nice
blindside is staying put as far as I know. it is a great freeride/whistler bike. set up with a derrailur it pedals up really well (designed around a smaller chainring) the latest model run addressed the flex issues and is much stiffer in the rear.Mine will be up for sale at the end of this season .

yes he is saw him yesterday he wasnt riding it then but the day before he wasDefinitely more aesthetically pleasing than the Blindside. Is Sternberg already riding it?
