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 Seems so 'outdated' or 'out of fashion'.

thehatembomb (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...

nouser (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??

nouser (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

nouser (Sep 1, 2010 at 13:24)

SICK !!

jaceg (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:12)

ha! look at he Demo in the background. WAY BIGGER size of the frame than the Hill's one!

ricardoxtr (Sep 1, 2010 at 15:32)

and the shock cage is a bit diferent, sims like!!! (sorry for my english if is not correct)

fr3er1d3r (Sep 1, 2010 at 20:56)

I love that color combo. It's the best by far

nouser (Oct 19, 2010 at 17:19)

warhorsey (Nov 11, 2010 at 16:49)

matt-bike-baha (Nov 29, 2010 at 9:44)

PlumStick13-Magnus (Nov 29, 2010 at 11:44)

matt-bike-baha (Nov 29, 2010 at 11:47)

PlumStick13-Magnus (Nov 29, 2010 at 11:48)

bxxer-rider (Feb 21, 2011 at 16:10)

matt-bike-baha (Feb 21, 2011 at 16:35)

PlumStick13-Magnus (Feb 22, 2011 at 0:10)

bxxer-rider (Feb 22, 2011 at 1:18)

Hunter95 (Sep 1, 2010 at 15:18)

sniperbob04 (Sep 1, 2010 at 15:24)

Cezar-mtb (Sep 7, 2010 at 9:14)

Pety092 (Sep 3, 2010 at 3:56)

Lixchen123 (Oct 16, 2010 at 8:15)

diogodavinha (Sep 1, 2010 at 17:09)

PERFECT PAINT!

kurzbach (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

RMFwannabe (Sep 5, 2010 at 9:07)

Those are so nice!

trekrider4mgm (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:04)

no its faircloughs. brosnan is austrailian and the one in the back you can barely make out a british flag

pierpoint33 (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:04) (Below Threshold)

since when was brosnan from great britain ??

trekrider4mgm (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:06)

hes not fairclough is british and brosnan is austrailian

pierpoint33 (Sep 1, 2010 at 14:17) (Below Threshold)

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.

jaceg (Sep 2, 2010 at 4:22)

that's FAIRCLOUGH's ! His ride is equiped with those red grips www.pinkbike.com/photo/5572624 Moreover as Colin994 said Brosnan don't have a green monsterenergy paintjob on his Demo!
cheers!

ltrumpore (Sep 2, 2010 at 12:49) (Below Threshold)

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

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Sep 2, 2010 at 12:59)

we are talking about to one in the background you idiot

sammie (Sep 27, 2010 at 11:35)

i think the one in the front may be sam blenkinsops and the one at the back maybe Steve Peats. Yes.

pierpoint33 (Sep 27, 2010 at 12:35) (Below Threshold)

FUCK ME YOU GUYS WHO EVER NEG PROPPED MY FIRST COMMENT ARE COMPLETE DOUCHES'S I SAID SINCE WHEN WAS HE FROM GREAT BRITAIN BECAUSE IT HAS A GREAT BRITISH FLAG NOT AN AUSTRALIAN ONE YOU DOPEY BASTARDS, IT WAS SARCASM IF THEY KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

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
