this is a cool pic

front of the bike is a large the rear is a small, thats how sam likes it set up supposedly.

What do ya mean? Do you mean his front end height is that of a Large, but the rear cockpit clearance is that of a small?

frdh (Apr 4, 2009 at 23:18)

front triangle is a large, the rear is a small. Not sure his reasoning behind it, but thats what he likes..

haro357 (Apr 5, 2009 at 14:23)

i think its because he wants his feet as far back as possible when he's riding

tighter cornering

do you mean front triangle and rear triangle? or just front-rear part of the front triangle? cuz i tought all rear triangles are the same

frdh (Jul 16, 2009 at 16:11)

dunno, maybe youre right, all i know is he has funky geometry

fr112358 (Jul 16, 2009 at 22:00)

I figured it out, all it is is he prefers short chainstays, not long ones like on a Flatline.

sie7e (Jul 17, 2009 at 9:36)

that makes sense now. like long bikes, but w/ short chainstays

some-guy (Oct 24, 2009 at 3:18)

yeah except the length or size in general of the rear triangle is constant throughout all the sizes. only the front triangle differs

was this picture shot at like f 2.8 because that is a wicked short field of depth?

fr112358 (Apr 4, 2009 at 17:20)

2.8 probably wouldnt do that. more like a 1.8.

fr112358 (Apr 4, 2009 at 17:20)

never mind. It also could have been a big lens (at 2. Cool

and the riders were spaced out.

this picture should be given to anyone who thinks that boxxers suck.... i see three pro DH riders, and three DH bikes, and what do you know, they all have boxxers

rolto1822 (May 12, 2009 at 23:37)

yeah very true
actually i think there are four bike with boxxers, the bike in the background, judging by the lower crown, has boxxers too! Big Grin
