hills bike is tiny compared to faircloughs! they seem to be running quite a high front end. high rise bars and the forks dropped down in the crowns?

yesok (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:54)

Is the track super steep?

boobies (Sep 1, 2010 at 19:36)

I noticed the high looking front ends as well. Anyone know if this is normal for them? Seems so 'outdated' or 'out of fashion'.

eddiethekid (Sep 2, 2010 at 8:54)

tbh none of the pros follow "fashions" they use whats fastest... the new craze of flat 800mm bars on super low front end setups isnt actually better...

nosnibor (Sep 2, 2010 at 11:26)

hill was a fan of low bars a few years ago. they look like 1.5" rise ish?? MSA isn't the steepest track in the world.

ilivetogofast758 (Nov 6, 2010 at 19:57)

they always run their bikes like that with the high crowns and im pretty sure they are 50mm rise bars. has sam hill been riding a small lately??

nosnibor (Nov 10, 2010 at 10:43)

hill probs has a long custom frame with a short seat tube because hes quite short.

p-romano (May 6, 2011 at 18:38)

but look how high his seat is. he probably just likes the shorter reach and extra snappiness of a small frame

AlexK92 (Sep 2, 2010 at 14:29)

I think I would like to have Hill's bike more that Fairclough's as it would be much easier to throw around Big Grin

Are you being serious treckrider, that sarcasm was off the scale, why would brosnan have a british flag on his bike LOL he wouldnt he would have a australian.

pierpoint33 (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:19)

And yeah last time i knew brosnan was still running the red 2010 demo, with normal boxxers instead of blackbox boxxers.

Colin994 (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:23)

nope he's running the red and white 2011 demo with normal boxxers

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Sep 1, 2010 at 15:09)

AND the frame in the back ground is clearly a large and Fairclough is now riding a large and Troy has an XS so the bike IS Brendog's!

trekrider4mgm (Sep 1, 2010 at 16:31)

i never said it was brosnans bike in the first place

pierpoint33 (Sep 2, 2010 at 3:14)

Wesley fraiser said that it was hills and brosnans.

pierpoint33 (Sep 2, 2010 at 3:15)

Why did use all neg prop me im telling the truth why would brosnan have a great britain flag on his frame yous are dopey as out.

grabs (Sep 2, 2010 at 4:22)

WOW, as if the 'Hill' sticker on the toptube doesn't give you enough of a hint . . .

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Sep 2, 2010 at 12:59)

sammie (Sep 27, 2010 at 11:35)

Colin994 (Sep 27, 2010 at 20:41)

ok, youre right lets all positive prop you now! and an extra one for the swears and all caps too

pierpoint33 (Sep 28, 2010 at 8:05)

I care cause i was just stating that not many people on pinkbike know what sarcasm is, and it is very embarrassing for them tbh.

Colin994 (Sep 28, 2010 at 16:48)

yeah but not as embarrassing as you getting neg propped on all your comments and then trying to make it right by yelling at us. remember, everyone on pinkbike is a dick Beer
