I like that they listed XL first in the geo chart. I feel seen.

Throwback Thursday: 10 Classic Photos of the Day From 2003
The biggest thing is there was almost nobody in front of us, no blueprint, no marketing l, nothing to guide us nothing to live up to. Just taking chances in the forest in tiny groups. It's difficult to articulate. It was harder to do this back then. A lot of newer riders just show up and it's all laid out and approved. I suspect the same people 25 years ago wouldn't have been interested.

Bike Check & Shop Tour: Lal Bikes' Nicolai Nucleon 16 Supre Test Sled
This makes way more sense to me. Simplify and protect the derailleur. The rear brake is protected within the swingarm too. Move the tensioner part of the derailleur off the swingarm and do double duty as a chainguide up front. Tuck everything away nicely. I would way rather go this route than a $900 derailleur with more batteries and servos.

First Ride: Archibald Cycles' AC1 Doomsday Machine
Test this one against maybe the Forbidden Dreadnought, the Nicolai Nucleon 16 and the Williams Racing Trinity. There's so much to talk about these bikes it would have to be focussed on day to day living/maintenance and how awesome they are every single day (or not). I think people are consistently concerned about drag in the system and increased maintenance and whether (if true), those things are worth the perceived performance benefits. Those bikes are super wacky. We want to know more!

Now with this, the Williams Racing Trinity and the Nicolai Nucleon 16 I would say it's time for an old fashioned MBA shootout!
