That Triton is dead sexy! When are we going for some runs Adrian?....
Post up a pic of Brian's Cro-Mo Triton too if you have one.

hmm, after all the bickering on American Hot Rods, i'd feel more comfortable if those were boxed in :dancing:Orvan said:

Is the DHE8 still part of the lineup for 06?SBDHrida said:go to go-ride for their old full range they still make all those bikes. Cortina is pretty much just focusing on the Triton right now. Also, the DHE 8 is getting a revamping for 06 and there is a new aluminum hardtail in that I've seen in their shop which uses the same 1.5 headtube, and toptube and downtube as the triton. It looks pretty sick.
yeah thats what i thought, not to mention the upside-down links (new CDale, ASX) can give some nice shock ratesfrorider said:also, there's a reason foes and cannodale etc. put the scissor linkage up high---i.e. putting it farther away from the swingarm main pivot means that the lateral stiffening effect of the scissor link will be maximized. so i'm curious why you put it relatively close to the main pivot.
thx.

Adrian is working on a Freeride Triton with 7" that is front der. compatible. He's also making a new hardtail called the WMD that is sick. It has similar geo to the MOB and is made from Reynolds 853 cro-mo.SOil said:Any more news? website hasn't changed since last september
Well that's the joy of being local, If I have a problem with my bike I can just call them, ask about a part/piece, and go pick it up. Plus the family is great (Dan, Adrian, Raul) and they do have that "family" feel to talking about bikes and such. I think that any company where you can go into the production plant (aka the garage) and talk with the builder/deisgner and especially someone who's been doing it as long as the Cortina's here in town they'll do their best to help you out. Very excellent operation as far as that goes!dame1chesco said:i already ordered mine. making deals with the cortina family is the best... they treat you as a friend not as a number like many other fooking bike company

hehe - i think you just gave DHS a :nuts:LOOnatic said:Cuz Orven taught het to NOT be a sissy and drag the rear brake all the time
The frame is not ridiculously light or anything, a complete with a reasonable build is 40-42 lbs.RD3 said:I have one of the aluminium hardtail ds bikes. The frame is great, nice welds and the alignment for everything was spot on, brake tabs, etc.
The new dh bike looks great, looks like it would build up to make a pretty light race frame. Do you have an aprox weight on the frame?
You can have whatever head angle you like, that's the beauty of a custom frame.karpi said:wondering what the new 7'triton will look like? is that a 7 inch travis on the triton? and last question, it looks dead slack on the head angle, too much or is it the picture?
cheers! i'll drink to that. I own (well untill i rode it into the ground) a Europa fs that i raced mountaincross/dual slalom with for 4 seasons. i loved it. the frame was badass.....and after four years of serious racing on it, sadly it finally cracked around the shock/seatmast mount. i more than got my money's worth out of that bike. I'm not sure whats up with cortina these days, but shame on you for knocking a family run company that produces high quality frames.The Mexi-can said:I don't know if you have ever owned one of our frames but they don't have mcuh fex. And if you have not ridden or owned our bike that is a pretty bold opinion to post. Also just so you know the Triton DH is made with EASTON butted 6061 aluminum and is very strong and pleanty stiff with the aid of the swing link behind the BB. So get your facts straight before writing a worthless post like the one you just posted, and don't bother starting a reply with "my friend had or thinks a cortina is......" because those are just as worthless and tend to get twisted into something that doesn't need to be said, and if they are unhappy or have a problem they can talk to me. Think before you type!
Thank you.
Mexico City, near to a place where some assholes told Vitox he should not ride his bike in the track, even when one of this asshole's son was doing the same exact thing...DHS said:where's this place?
