Bike Check: Dangerholm's Scott Genius ST Concept
@kevinturner12: Maybe your body isn't suitable for real world mountain biking.

Bike Check: Dangerholm's Scott Genius ST Concept
@tomfoolerybackground: No argument about marketability, the argument is about usability. I'm also not arguing about it being a good or bad final result, so I am not 'ragging' on the project like some have here, I am just suggesting that this has entered the area of show bike.

OneUp Announces Syndicate Sponsorship & Athlete Posters
@watchmen: Nice try, bit of a basic gaslight attempt though sweetie. Try and clear that confusion and get back to your original point, if there was one? eh?

@watchmen: huh? - I was just asking what you mean by the comment? Are you so confused that you just want to end the discussion as you don't have a clue where you were going with it? Go have a sit down dear.....

@watchmen: I think a small minority do - most couldn't give a shite and buy stuff from wherever they get it cheap. If you do care, a quick google would show one-up listed on Pon's website, its not secret information.

@watchmen: Yea very well aware of that, as are most people that know Burgtec. How does that affect them going on to use One-up though?

@Struggleteam: In a way uncommon to other 'industries' why to customers in the bike world think they are owed full financial transparency from a relatively small, non publicly trading business? Do you go into your local shop employing 29 people and ask them about their investors, or owners etc and expect an answer?

@dangerholm: You pretty much make my point for me there - for 'normal' people it is a part in the calculation, of course it is - most don't get parts for free and their occupation isn't building custom, form over function bikes for social media content. Wouldn't you also need new brake hoses as they would be too short to deal with new routing - maybe even fittings as even they are custom? - what about routing the electrical stuff? - No I haven't outright broken a bar, but I have damaged one to the point I wouldn't want to use it further and endanger myself, this can happen even on the uplift truck. Look forward to seeing the ride report in 2 years time and a few thousand miles of riding.

@gossman: No I don't break a huge amount of parts, but carbon bars don't like damage and these are completely custom including the stem - how would you replace these if required and you didn't have the time to custom modify a set of bars and get them painted to match? Who mentioned anything about 'hangers'? As I say, its a show bike for taking to Eurobike and earning from sponsors and social media views.

@hardtailpunter: @hardtailpunter: Ride it as intended and parts will wear out and break. As I said below, say the bar is damaged on a riding trip or at a race, what are you going to do? Say a custom painted part is damaged will you replace it with something that doesn't match at all or custom paint some more parts? What about all of the other custom parts difficult to replace when required, not to mention the ridiculous cost involved in doing so if you aren't getting parts for free as part of sponsorship for doing this as a job which he is? Its a show bike, a concept, something nice to look at, the rear shock remote and silly front brake hose routing testament to the fact its not been built to ride.
