thats not a shiver, thats a goosebump.

haha yeah, it looks dope though. the newest shiver to date.

that would be sweet i would ride that now screw age

hahhaah look how close the deralliur is to the ground

but, why not single speed??

SS isn't mtb feature that's why.

I wonder how much travel this thing have...

but why on earth an xt shadow with long cage???

It said in the article it got swapped for a short cage

is that picture RESIZED with non constant proportions or is it real?

the mech almost touc hes the ground

the only problem i see with the bike is that the long cage derailer is about 3 inches off the ground. i give that one ride. other then that SICK BIKE wish i had something like that when i was a kid

Yeah better be XO super short, and some boXXers in front!
But kids just keep dreaming of that bike

the most hardcore kid's bike ever

cool

I understand when 10 year olds have ''downhill bikes'' but I think this invention is somewhat useless. Does a 5 year old need disc brakes and and a fork? No. All they need is a bike with two wheels that is functioning. My little brother had a regular bike until he reached 8 years old, then he bought a bmx to improve his skill, and finally at 10 years old he now has a DH bike. Its all about progression. Check out this shot of him bmxing (when he was 9)http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2415535/

I still beleive in "you gotta earn your turns!" phrase. But its kind of cool bike. Just a fun project for the builders / designers. Eric---0 i do agree with you though.

That thing looks like a tank with the lowered shivers

"Uh, why the long cage?"

Are all of you retarded? Is it really THAT hard to f*cking read?

I need a beer.

all that work and to put a goofy ass longcage derailleur on there...hahahhahha

smaller derailer or single speed

wait never mind bout ss
