Nicolai Announces New Ultra-Adjustable G1 Enduro Bike

@jayacheess: It's the welding method for the material. Aluminium conducts heat differently to harder metals, so you need to be careful with long exposures can distort the metal. Few passes with a large electrode is better than many passes with a small electrode in these types of cases. But for evidence of concept, try finding a picture of a broken Nicolai (I have tried extensively, still been unable to). Their work is beyond exemplary, and the fishscales on their bikes are some of the most beautiful workmanship you'll see, ever, not just on a bike.

Nicolai Announces New Ultra-Adjustable G1 Enduro Bike

I ride and own a G15 GPI, they turn plenty fast. When you look at it, my size large bike has a wheelbase of 1312mm vs something like 1219mm of a same sized Trek Slash. If 10cm is stopping you getting around corners, you've got bigger issues than a wheelbase. Does take some extra effort to get the front wheel up, but it's just a body language adjustment once you're used to it.

Review: Canyon Spectral WMN CF 9.0

That rear axle with the stowing lever made my pants tight!! That gently confident mechanical noise as it locks into place, that smooth threading, that low profile, tool-less design. Today is going to be a good day and all is well in the world. Thanks Pinkbike.
