rear triangle is a tad long dont you think ? but i suppose that is clearance for the rear shock to work

yea but it has a rotating pivot around the bb and horizontal drop outs and im sure feels way better than a bottlerocket..

Yeah, I agree. Bent seat tube makes it look even longer. I would like to see how long wheel base it has. Sweet looking ride anyway.

Commencal are much more superior than transition. The Athertons and Cedric Gracia probably helped to design this bike so it will be alot better than a bottlerocket.

Love the dropouts! and the BB pivot, pretty much everything apart from the suspension system, it makes it so the rear end is long. Very happy with how much effort they have put in to it though.

flag skatejunkie (May 26, 2009 at 16:18)
I think the long rear end that a few people are complaining about is the only way that a concentric pivot would work without the wheel hitting the frame.

why does everyone say it looks like a bottle rocket, it has a tapered headtube and a concentric bottom bracket pivot. and it probably handles way better.
