Video: Reality Redesigned: The Final Episode

 Gotta say... This has hardly been as innovative as the 'reality redesigned' moniker suggested at the start. Its a neat product, but it could probably been made more easily and faster independently than with all this faff. Sorry but I'm Disappointed with the whole series bar maybe one or two designs.

 A very clever bit of designing right there.


It seems like something that would be mire suited to downhill than dirtjumping/slopestyle like mike montgomery is using it for. In my opinion pivotal is king for DJ/SS applications.

Although I wonder how the thompson/ibeam combo would compare to a pivotal setup in terms of weight?

 This is quiet possibly the shittiest winner to any competition I have ever scene in my entire life, the Idea is far from original, just like all the other crap they through at you in the bike industry, more retrofitted bullshit, this is not innovation. It's pretty clear this series has an extremely low budget and thus chose a cheap producible product. In my mind this isn't any different then someone coming out with a stem. It's simply just a seat post adapter. This is pathetic as if this is your final decision for winner...... Just upset cause I was personally excited to see a chance given to those who have thought up dream designs and really wanted to realize them, and all you guys could do was give someones simplistic design the opportunity to be realized whereas there are far more complex and thought out INNOVATIVE!! designs that I personally believe deserved to be the winner.

 although, with a passion i hate what and how they have done this series(the 'winner' says it all! its just an adaptor)...

i do hope this will inspire a new series of similar shows with a real out look on getting a decent design that has been someone's dream produced, think about the m-slacker and the 6-bar linkage frames for example(soz forgot its name mid-rant) genuinely good ideas with a lot of thought behind them, sure tweaking was needed and everyone wanted to see them made. yet they went for the obvious choice of winner with going with something small, easy to manufacture that they can sell, how do you think they got the go-ahead for a budget for the show, yes they had big sponors, but no businesses do something like this to advertise themselves to people who already know all about these brands....royalties at the least.

 look at you making that internet money

 Id be interested to see the fabrication of those two bike frames from a few episodes back

 the problem with reality redesigned is that came from no-where demanding content from us, the consumers with the guise of getting your design seen and possibly made(as if it was a real competiton) in order to make the show. not like a manufacturer's forum where ideas for improvement can be discussed and resolved, they want the young generation's ideas for actual potential products to show them to everyone to see, i just hope when it came to submitting that there was a clause to protect the intellectual property of the designers.

listen to what dave weagle said in that little burst a while ago... if you have a good idea, keep it to your f*cking self, unless you can afford or know how to protect it! and i full intend to, too tempting to just show everyone.

yes the little treats like seeing Straightline's production system and them actually making the submissions to the extent of 3D printing them . was a nice touch,

just a shame it looked like the majority of the budget for the script and show was spent on the fancy '3D title and closing graphics'

 and the most innovative thing for this contest that was months long and hundreds/thousands of applicants.. we present.. this Adapter!!

 Am I the only person who thinks if u want I Beam, buy an I Beam.... Why have an adapter ?

 if the weight does work out in the winners interest then good on them, whoever manufacturers it got something for nothing and its US, the riders and consumers that lose out, as every one will know how this product came to be it better be f*cking cheap!

im getting bored of this now as im sure you all are,
i just trying to say that its a real shame that this show was so lame towards the end, sold out and chose such BLAND product because this sort of product wouldve been made eventually given the ever increasing amount of componetry companies that are popping up, hell i could make one in less than a day on my dad's machine tools.

and if it really was a public poll... shame on you pinkbike users(you know who you are)... shame on you

 It's both Aluminum and Aluminium....The Brit that discovered it named it Aluminium, but then changed his mind later and called it Aluminum. The Americans adopted the new name but the British disliked it, pointing out that that it was a disruption to the ...ium naming convention of elements. A good pub quiz fact for you there.

 Im surprised theyre using alumin(i)um for this. It looks damn heavy and kinda defeats the purpose of the light i-beam design.

I really like the design and would consider buying one but Im thinking it could be made out of lighter materials like plastic and just use metal for the bolts and rods.

I guess they would if they could. There's probably some good reason against it.

 Give us the "footsie"

 So when and where can I buy this?

 Gravity dropper posts use the same top as Thomson and they offer a I beam model. I have used Thomson parts on it before, I wonder there's may work too?

 Well if straitline is the company putting it into production it's going to be 200.00 lol what a joke. Kudos to the guy who won though.

 nice job cody!!

 i was talking of this part this week ,that i hope that someone will produce this ,very happy

 www.behance.net/StemenInc/frame/4281373 did nobody ever see that from 2008, this design is a bit of a copy...

 This only works with the thompson post?

 Thomson look similar to RS Reverb so will that work with this post?

 4sure a deserved win of the competition!

 It's Aluminium not aluminum. There's 2 i's in it
