its like a turner with a super 8...kinda funky i kinda like it tho
omg i saw this at sea otter.i pulled over before the stepdown and the person riding stopped nd then took off.that thing sounds super smooth
I saw that at Rhyd-Y-Felin! Bloody awesome peice of kit, If you go into production, I'll be a customer!
i'd wait til he makes the Mark II, with single swing arm, then u'll wanna buy that 1. SUch a sweet bike though. Its a superbike.
If it has a single swing arm how will the break mount be put on? Surely it would mean drive and break on the same arm?
that thing is shit f*cking god dam dumb looking f*ck that dumb ass bike get a f*cking banshee morphine
Ur a dick if you aint gonna say sumthin nice just shut the f*ck up unless u can make sumthin better than that uintil then f*ck off at least they took the advantage to do sumthin with ther life instead of putting other people down
this is like when a surfer gets so into the surfing that he starts to shape his own surfboard...i love to see that this is happening in MTB too! i just love it, great frame, great job man! ! keep up with the love!
Have you even read the article?? The shock on there is designed using Classified Military Technology, and is so much better than a coil.
I'm pretty sure its nothing classified, in fact as far as I'm aware its something along the lines of a hydrogas shock, like used on rover metros, however on these cars the potential of the technology wasn't really appreciated, but it sounds like Mr Millyard has got it spot on.
(correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't looked into it massively, this is just what I've picked up from what I've red)

and a single swing arm in the future, maybe not good for the privateer but for a race team, could be awesome.
good effort!
good effort!
the frame almost looks like a basic version of the early vps's with out the aluminum on the cross bars...sick bike though id probly buy the next one if it had a little more travel.
i dont think these are for sale.......
but yea this is truly the best bike ihave ever clapped eyes on. I cant wait to see the mark 2!

I like the idea that its a single pivot and internal gear shift but its sorta ugly. you are moving in the right direction though. Thats tha future of mtb!!
but has he raced on it yet??? just wondering cause if this is the first sorta prototype version of it, there bound to be something wrong with it?
Yes, the bike was finished in time for round 1 of the pearce cycles winter series, then we took the bike to California to ride the sea otter classic where stephen rode it to 6th place in his catagory. In total its done 6 race weekends without a single problem. Whats strange for me is that there is nothing for me to do at the races, no chains to clean and oil etc.

haha "nothing to do at the races" thats awsome. A perfect chainline with no derailleurs or chainguides. Mor mtb companies should experiment with this new technology!! Hey btw how much does it weigh? bet its pretty heavy
ok... never mind what i said about the chainline cuz i looked at more photos and i dont see any chain lol ...O_o .. the chain is in the chainstay i guess lol
[Reply]
ha that looks awsome..its such an original design..lol it looks like some guy took a whole bunch of steel and just started welding it together..its awsome..that air shock looks home made too! lol
Alright. I'm going to come right out and say it. That is the biggest peice of dirt I think I've ever seen. The forks are nice but thats about it. Dirt!
saw the 0001 and the single swing arm version at rogate over the weekend they are soo smooth and look immense
