nice the rear triangel reaminds me of a V10 and the front triangle reminds me on a supreme DH. NICE

Thanks. once we have the bugs worked out the rear end will probably slim down a bit more, same with the front at the plates.

I dont like the trend of DH bikes shooting for 35 pound builds sub 40 is reasonable for a world class ride but anything much lighter is scary to me. That frame just looks right low slung and solid to my eye. Sorry not ordering one my bike is dialed for now and I fell in love with a 1978 fj55 land cruiser bye bye $$$. Mayby 2010 the new dorado will be easier to get and mmmmm saint on ghost I nines o ya new A party list dreambike. I just got to convince the shop owner we need another exotic line

I can't respect your thinking about bikes much more! I am in total agreement with you on the weight thing!

there is no headset in it. I think I said that in one of the comments above.

flag kev-roberts (Jun 10, 2009 at 2:14)
coz its got a 1.5 headtube so they can use an internal headset (no upper or lower stack) so they dont change the height of the front end.

thats what i presumed anyway, correct me if im wrong

and this frame is super sick, anywhere you can get em in the u.k. ?

flag elDavido (Jun 10, 2009 at 8:02)
indeed it is sick

no, I didn't have a headset when I took the pic, that's all. Chris King got us dialed later. Working on getting a UK distributor now, bug your local shops
