The Riva Bike Festival takes place every spring along the shore of Italy's Lake Garda, a setting that offers absolutely stunning views in every direction. Cycling fanatics descend on the town from all over Europe, filling the streets with a blast of colors that Mother Nature never dreamed of. There's an XC marathon, an eliminator, and an enduro race over the course of the weekend, but for many of the 30,000+ visitors, it's the exhibition that's the big draw, offering consumers a chance to ogle and drool over the latest mountain bike technology.
They went through hell and back on skate boards, bikes and moto X. Wish I could find another pair that weren't called "vintage" and priced at $500.
@killerb09 The Half Cabs out now are still quality. I have a pair of Vans/Metallica Half Cabs that I love but they were limited release and the price has gone up since then like you mentioned.
That means sumpin' else here in the states...
What goes on in your shorts should stay in your shorts broseph... errr brosephina.
Those confidence inspiring seatstays, maybe?
@Jubbylinseed The inclusion of the Lefty means you most likely know very little about them. Flex stays have their place, just not on Pinkbike crowd bikes. And leaf-spring forks are perfect for fat bikes.
Quit being so ignorant.
Let the red arrows fly!
Leetspeak isn't cool any more. And up until a year ago I was a wrench at a shop that deals Cannondale, among other brands. I've rebuilt more than one of those damn proprietary columns of questionable benefits. They have needle bearings, so they feel good in the parking lot. Big deal.
All of this is of course irrelevant, since I said in the original post that lefties SEEM TO WORK. They just creep me out. As do flex-stays and leaf-spring forks.
Seems you have riden it already ?
Could you tell more details of your experience ?
T.H.E eliminator rim.........
Currently my drcv ctd shock does next to nothing on trail. The same has been true for every fox rear shock I've ever had.
