Wow beautiful bike from stem to rear axle . The lines just look right and bad ass . Love the rearend suspension, the lower arm pivot placement looks just perfect for the upper stay to pivot . You can visualize the the axle path easily through compression. Gorgeous George!

Did you see the RAWW bike ( last picture @fartymarty:

In my area most of the local bike shops have many of these traits . Especially poor maintenance. Talking down to customers and or sales people who don’t ride and don’t know how to recommend the proper bikes to the customers @plustiresaintdead:

@n8dawg82: definitely appears that way . Wonder if they are testing the friction of the two ?

That’s the reason behind the bicycle! NO POWER BUT HUMAN POWER

Always wondered what happened to that gearbox design @vinay:

I still ride a 2013 Kona Abracadabra. It’s not a high pivot but the chain stay lengthens . But not always. It’s a dual shock design and chain tension works in combination with the two shocks and basically dual pivot points . It’s a cool design and has its advantages. One is it’s poppy most of the time . You can climb with 4” of travel and use the 160mm intermittently the rest of the time . It’s a suspension you have to learn how to use to its strengths and try to avoid its negatives . Like when you need the short wheel base going through a corner and your punched in too hard and the rear lengthens and you can’t cut the tight line . You’ll push wide because the rearend is too long all of a sudden. Like any design you learn to ride them to their advantages. I like the high pivot design and glad it is finally back and being developed. Hope everything works out for Hope . Love the quality of their products.

Cool

I had plans to to me a 24” bike . It may have been around that time . The bike was may 1997 Cannondale SV 2000 . I think that was the letters . It was a 4” travel XC single pivot with the 90mm travel headshok . Wow has suspension design come a long way since then.

That is an absolutely beautiful bike design. The workmanship is impeccable also . I’d love to own this bike . The suspension design reminds me of my old Konas. Which I still ride . Will this gearbox design bike be available for a build for all customers?
