Jan, its a gravity bike.. to be leant over at high speeds on the tarmac. Apparently there is a national series here in Australia !?

 Holy

 Wow, yes its an interesting conglomerate of style and parts.. but its purpose is obvious!The redline would've shat itself at 100+ km pH.. you did it a favour!

 that's nuts! crazy fast...

 Pete tells me 90km+ thru a corner.. knee + elbow down on the road style!

 That's what I said!

 here's the crazy part,,,roadies will also hit those 100+ km/h speed on the right slopes but instead of wearing a leather suit and full face, they're only wrapped in lycra and foam helmet...I saw a riding partner go down at 85 km/h and he got his ass raped, BAD !!!...I watched a few of those red bull gravity races and really dig the different choices of bikes used by the racers...if I had the opportunity to build my own, I'd go with taller wheels and narrower tires, probably 26'' and definitely hydro brakes, haha...still, that sled looks so badass just knowing how stable at speed it must be...

 True? Roadies don't get enough respect from the off road set. Agree, it would be fun to build up one of these by own design. The dumb bell plates on the BB just blew me away and says it all for this genre of 2 wheel fun.

 are you planning to try it at some point ???...

 Not at this point.. happy off road!
