Lulz.

tri-bike aero complicated proprietary lameness on a mtb. it is a sad sad day

 

[SuspectDevice]

That looks amazing.

The Boa thing might be a bad idea. They do break, get clogged, create hot spots, etc. If things are designed and fabricated super well it could be a great idea. Having the closure in an impact area seems dodgy from a durability and protection standpoint.
I'm excited to hear some long-term reports if someone ponies up for a pair as they could be fantastic.

Refined Yeti 303?

Refined Yeti 303?

Looks a damn site closer to the 25th anniversary frame than the current 303, I like it.

 

[frango]

Correct me if I am worng... it doesn't have rail-thing??

edit: ok, I found it

^ They spell aluminum like I spell titanium.

They spell aluminium correctly.

 

[Steve M]

They spell aluminium correctly.

I think he was alluding to the fact that it says "Titanium" on the knee cup.

Some pics of Ancillotti bikes if they show up.

don't know if you spotted this on the Dirt website, here is a 2012 Ancillotti, apparently the twin top tubes have been morphed into a single top tube now.

 

[norbar]

Can anyone explain to me what so cool about them? I like their looks but their site is ancient.

 

[rayhaan]

I don't like them at all, but I just remember there was someone asking about Ancillotti, and I saw this was a 2012 ancillotti.

 

[karpi]

not my cup of tea, but it does look pretty bad ass. Looks like the lowered the bb and made it a bit slacker, although it could be a bit longer

 

[p-spec]

always dug the ancilottis

Very Low Centre of Gravity, strong as hell, and are a super small company so have the same cult following as brooklyn/FTW etc

I am on the same one since 2007 and its solid, no play in the back end what so ever.

drawbacks its their own shock (Very basic shock and nothing else will fit) and chain device (Ive seen e-13's fitted tho) but besides that great bike, been low and slack since day one (2000ish)

So a crappy shock and needs a special chain guide? For the first part I really liked it but I hoped if the shock is non standard that it will at least be better than your average product.

bullcrew will have avy make one if he buys one.

To get back on topic:

202g Pedals

 

[xy9ine]

rad looking bikes; shame about the shock.

 

[TrueScotsman]

Okay, now sitting in a Swiss bar after another day at Eurobike. Got loads of photos/info but the reports so far are on www.descent-world.co.uk. More to come including new e13 cranks, pedals and wheelsets.

 

[Trekrules]

Hope got things dialed

DH cassette

 

[spornographer]

vital day 2 from eurobike. so many cool things and some WTF's for sure

 

['size]

boosh. damn, sniped by sporno...

 

[IH8Rice]

DH cassette

is that finally real? and assuming it would be for their hubs?

 

[IH8Rice]

ugh, i should have waited for this

 

[Gary]

Hope DH cassette with the same width freehub but a silly spoke guard is pretty lame! 6speed 12mm thru axle hubs with properly wide flange spacing would be far better (it's not like no-one's asked Hope for this )

 

[IH8Rice]

i wonder whats different

 

[supercow]

I saw needles @Super Morzine wearing a Leatt that looked like that. That back bit (thoraticmebop?) looked bigger and rounder... kina like a platypus snout

 

[frango]

i wonder whats different

Different padding? Scott logo? Price?
