by The Bike Company in Lake Forest- Since 1999 The Bike Company in Lake Forest Ca has been the premier resource for sport to pro race level MTB riders. IT HAS JUST BEEN PROFESSIONAL SERVICED AND FULLY TUNED (Adjusted Derailer, new chain, new brakes, new cables, etc.) RIDES LIKE NEW. The Bike is in IMMACULATE Condition. This custom build was $9800. RATED AS BIKE OF THE DECADE BY FORBES MAGAZINE. Build Overview: Frame- XL, Carbon Fiber, protected with Helicopter Tape in high traffic areas Drivetrain: SRAM X1 Components: Shimano XTR Travel: 120mm Rear / 130 mm Front Wheels: RaceFace Turbine Handlebars- RaceFace Seat- S-Works (SUPER COMFORTABLE) Dropper Level- Wolf Tooth Dropper Post Tires: 29” Nobby Nic Performance Tubeless Addix Compound Hubs: King Chris Fork: Rockshox Pike RCT3 Rear Shock: Rockshox Monarch RT3 Debonair Pedals: Stamp 1 Wheels: 29′′, Carbon Hoops Measured Weight- 28 lbs Evil uses Dave Weagle’s DELTA linkage, which had the almost supernatural ability to react exactly how and when we wanted. While climbing, the frame rests at an ideal spot in its travel no matter how steep or how hard the pedal stroke. Swappable chips in the rear linkage allow for simultaneous bottom-bracket-height and head-angle adjustment, which is common. Up front, Evil invented a 62-millimeter I.D. headset standard to accept an internal offset lower headset cup to kick the head angle in or out by a full degree. Movement of the bearings, which have semi-spherical surfaces to align within the offset cup, could result in creaking at times. Therefore, The Following will ship with a fixed-angle headset and will offer the offset version as an option. Some of us believe that frame manufacturers are better off picking a geometry and sticking with it, but others pondered longer-travel forks without slackening the head angle. The Following sports a 120-millimeter rear end, but it felt nearly bottomless. The seemingly complicated linkage offered supple small-bump sensitivity at the top of its travel, a firm pumping and pedaling platform in the middle and just the right amount of ramp- up at the end. Paired with the 130-millimeter-travel Pike, The Following destroyed everything in its path. Evil bikes keep most of their bulk low and in the center of the frame. This made the Following feel especially light under foot. The short 16.8-inch chainstays offered considerably more tire clearance than did the too-tight Uprising rear end. Every tester agreed that with bikes like this available, there’s hardly a reason not to ride 29-inch wheels. There are so many article about how amazing this bike is. Google it.
