What Tyler Found: The Outdoor Demo - Interbike 2015

 Err, in that heat??!

 it would be fitting advertising for their brakes to be fair.

 That was so bad I'm gonna break your ARMS

 So, they've switched from kool-aid to candy now?

 Please don't I'm going to try better, honest

 At least they weren't handing them out of a van.

 Hate on both of us then! One Longbow please, BECAUSE it's different. Looks like a blast. And because there's no rear mech, I don't like mechs.

 love it, cromo and gearbox, how can you lose.

 The stays on it looks super short too, digging that double top tube

 One more person to hate... I love it!

 I'll take one as well, it'll loo God next to my 2stage

 I've bought the Oxide Valkyrie, which is their 180mm, 27.5 OR 29er compatible fr/dh bike.

Stainless steel, low leverage ratio, its a really beautiful piece of kit...

Look them up peeps

 Pics or.. You know the rest.
(Btw.. Your Brooklyn is very nice indeed)

 Dig the 19 year old dx pedals too, still going strong

 +1

They should chop that steerertube though

 Clean, classy, and simple. I sure hope Oxide is reading these comments. The Pinkbike audience is certainly one of the tougher crowds on the Internet - see Ellsworth - and a small company with a clever handbuilt product deserves credit and appreciation.

 the rohlhof in the wheel though? not sure about that. Also PB is a much tougher audience when they see the price.

 Love the bike. Appears to be a Rohloff hub transmission? Wish them made a solid trigger shifter for that thing, I'd be on it like stink on a bum.

 i actually like it. was going to say at first that the top tube was too skinny, next picture shows its got 2 top tubes, haha!

 This is actually the Oxide Battle Axe. 160mm travel with 29" wheels. The Longbow is Oxide's hard tail. All Oxide frames are long and slack with super short chain stays. I had the chance to ride a fully rigid Longbow and was absolutely blown away! The thing cornered like no bike I have ever ridden. I was taking a beating, but a friend couldn't drop me on the descents on his 150mm trail bike. These bikes are definitely worth a look. Clean, well thought out, outside the box bikes.

 @biking85 - There might not be a stock option, but there's this. Paddle shifting, like the new SRAM Red eTap. Quite pricey, though - $360. With the hub, that puts you at 50% more than XTR mechanical or XX1 online, so you've gotta reeealllyy like gearbox hubs.

This, too. Requires some modification, though.

 Longbow looks sweet.

 I'm the guy that builds Oxide Cycles. Pinkbike can be a tough crowd, so it's nice to see so many positive comments. I started designing XC/AM hardtails 15 years ago. They were designed with short stems, long top tubes and stays too short for a front derailleur. There was no market for a bike like that, so I just built them for myself. The industry has caught up, and I've been able to start selling bikes the last few years. I'm just one guy in a small shop, so they are a bit costly and time consuming to build. But I've had so much positive feedback from owners and the riding community I foresee the business growing and the frames becoming more accessible.

 @ripplemuncher - Alan, awesome to see your talent on PB bud.
Sent you an email with good news... chat soon,

Steve

 Thanks so much for using the rohloff hub. I wish more companies would get into this, so there would be a better market for the hubs and accessories.

Surely it wouldn't be hard to mod a trigger shifter to work with this hub? 3d print something?

 Bravo ripplemuncher, I'm glad to see builders like you bring some common sense to this ridiculous industry that continues to push an exposed transmission that ignores that chain driven systems are intended have a straight chain line between the chain wheels. It will be small builders like you and Gravity who will turn the tide towards the internal drive trains we always should have had like every other vehicle with a multi-gear transmission out there. A benefit of all those mid drive e bikes coming out and going mainstream is it will provide a means for companies to use an internal hub like you have for a transmission. In addition to longer life and less maintenance it will move the weight of the gear system to the center and lowest position on the bike where it should be. For anyone who would talk about the lower drive efficiency of an internal hub that gap is a lot smaller than you are led to believe. Chain driven systems are most efficient with a certain size of chain wheels and no offset. As both of those things move away from ideal you lose efficiency. Platforms such as Oxide and Gravity and the others that will come along will bring improvements to the existing internal hubs and those that are sure to come along. Rather than mock me think of the day you can have the full range of a 14 or 15 speed belt driven bike with no chain to maintain or muck things up.

 Bravo @davemud

 @freeriderayward: The second of two links I posted in an earlier comment does something like that. By messing with the guts of trigger shifters or even road shifters, you can use them in combination with the box to shift a Rohloff.

 Yeah, something like that hey. It would just be accentuation ratios you'd have to get right huh? There isn't two cables on a Rohloff is there?

 You're a smartie

 I'd hate to burst your bubble but he's more of a super star

 Meant to comment on carfreak2000's comment

 Morgan looks like Hellboy with that gargantuan arm.

 Was thinking the same, solar plexus destroyer or what?!

 Demo bike innit. Need to pop the bars up and down, swap stems etc. for different testers.

 Yeah, we know, but it was fun pretending though.

 looks like a Marin Attack Trail!

 Goggle strap placement isn't seated too well back there...and then there's that stupid visor.

 Gonna need better than that for that 72er - Boost triple+ anyone?

 Did those CB pedals make it through without any failures? That would be a first.

 It's obviously one of the latest Marins
