That is a pretty fucking cool paint job. My tricks are playing eyes on me.

Are they racing with 3D goggles?

They'll have the edge since everyone else will only be seeing the course in 2D

Why not... and the Michelin logos don't burn the eyes for once.

one of the nicest looking bikes ever - both paint job and the lines in general

Imagine the Bulldog coming into your living room at 70km/h!

Love you Mr putin : )

@the666ers: I am very likeable. Or else…

If you wear last Sunday's unwashed riding gear when you look at the bike you'll be able to experience it in 4D.

play on words with the Sunday? I always thought that the Mondraker is a refined Sunday

Early morning I had to read the word “Anaglyphic” a few times to get it right. Reminds me of Tobias Funke.

There is a trend developing here. Just the other day I met a girl with an Alice in wonderland themed tattoo on her arm that was in 3D like these bikes. Her plan is to do full sleeve with the theme. What a time to be alive!

Would have been better with Suntour suspension. But not all is lost. Looking forwards to their race kit, face paint etc. Let's just not hope that their fans will be cheering them on with banners just like these. Would be pretty hard to stay concentrated.

Very creative paintjob. Well done MDK.
Cool to see Lauries custom headset. He mentiond a lower bb as well. I wonder how much lower it is. And is he running a lower bb in this ruff track? Can't wait to watch the race!

I love the fox orange, but on bikes like these it would be so much cooler if fox made their springs in different colors.

oldfaith FL (Aug 26, 2021 at 12:14)

Great looking bikes MS! good luck to my favorite team on my favorite track!

sundaydoug (Aug 26, 2021 at 6:27)

Super cool. I wonder if if actually looks 3D with the blue/red glasses on

bigtim FL (Aug 26, 2021 at 6:41)

If you mean, "will the bike look 3d when looking at it on a screen" then no. If that was to happen 2 slightly different angled photos of the bike would need to be taken, then colourised to the red and blue so that your eyes would interpret them accordingly. The design above will only show the relevant wording by looking through single coloured lenses like in the examples above, so not technically 3D anyway!

bigtim FL (Aug 26, 2021 at 6:42)

If you mean 'Will the bike look 3D in real lfe?'... then... Yes... unless you are a cyclops.

pcmxa (Aug 26, 2021 at 6:51)

Some of the logos (fox, head tube) might appear to hover above their physical location. Depends on the offset the used on those.

sundaydoug (Aug 26, 2021 at 12:28)

@bigtim: Yea, that's what I meant... in real life.

So, these are cool paint jobs obviously, but I don't love how many frames (not to mention other components) the teams go through in a season. Where do these frames go? Are they conscious of the environmental impact of using a frame for maybe a hundredth of its viable lifespan? I would hope they get sold to fans and ridden after their world cup race, but I don't see why the UCI doesn't just make some regulations to have each rider have a reasonable number of frames and other components they can use each season. It all just seems really wasteful.

oldfaith FL (Aug 26, 2021 at 12:12)

I ride an old retired MS summum so don’t worry they are long loved after race day. I doubt there will be large opening ceremonies and Olympic style build it and dump it sport centers and trails so I would suggest that DH has a lower footprint compared to most cycling disciplines and I suggest you shouldn’t even look at motor sports, golf, horse racing, sailing……etc. there is not allot of money in DH racing so most teams save where ever they can, remember Gwins famous tireless run? The hub was cut out and laced to another rim. And let’s not forget how generous the gravity race scene is, allot of old race material gets handed on to privateers and fans that want free tires. FOX let me have a spring one year so long as I gave them my old one. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as you suggest. Let’s enjoy the show and the amazing work of the teams and people that make it happen!

I'll be the first to say "meh"... kind of underwhelming IMO.

Here's a marketing idea for the bike brands out there; be the only team attending without a special paint job! Concentrate on racing first, then worry about how good you look while you're doing it.

hmstuna (Aug 26, 2021 at 8:44)

This would be terrible marketing. Why would they ever do that?
