Help with some burly hardtail pics...

[nornirishdave]

[monkeyboy424]

sweet!

[ROOTBALL]

Just got this Evolution2 from Azonic, warranty from an 02 frame. Has anyone broken a new one yet? The new Shorter chain stays make this bike respond allot better.

[IntenseKid]

Looks ohh so like a Orange Msisle :D

Alex Matthews new 2003 Ridge in Electric Blue, this can be seen roaming the streets and trails in Salt Lake City:

does anyone know if manitous carbon x-verts are any good? if not what problems do they have?

[C.C.]

Wowza. The electic blue Ridge looks nice. Looks very versatile.

are those dropouts standard Q/R or QR20? i'm interested in a DJ fork but I want standard dropouts

[SR]

Here is my current setup. It will soon be replaced by a new Subterranean frame, 24"trailpimps, PX SS bolt on disc hub and an avid mech rear disc brake (Most of the parts on this were temps borrowed from other bikes that now need to go back on)

SR oh how I love your magic jibbe pedalbike.

I am almost finished turning the unfinished attic of our garage into a pimpass bike room. Too bad I spent so much money and time on the room, my bikes are all half built :monkey:

They are in fact miniature doors, for my pet midgets.

This photograph may help explain the situation! There is a staircase up here behind me.

You need to drape some red sheets everywhere and host wild hashish and opium crazied midget orgies.

Last night, there was this moment when she was sandwiched between the Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesman where I thought, 'I could spend the rest of my life with this woman...'

This thing is pretty cool looking. I love elevated chain stays.

$750, though... :think:

Sideways - hmm, good insight! I had a dream similar to that last night. I will look into getting those red silk accents.

I was up until 2:00am last night putting on the floor and door moldings, and smoothing them :dead: But it's almost done.

The Goat bike looks like a SICK park bike!

Question: What the hell happend to EWR?

yup - those were the first "hardcore" hardtails imo... i remember lusting over those in 94/95, but decided to go for lightweight steel instead ... in those days i was an xc-racer.

i have no idea what happend to them, i guess they just stopped making frames? i never got the impression that they ever caught on, their frames were marketed as primarily xc & trials frames... their xc frames were too heavy for the weight obsessed xc market & i dunno much about the trails market.

I think they were just starting to die as dh gained ground... they probably got the most exposure from those that read dirt rag & saw jay dejesus on his.

Sweet bike there Shmoe:thumb: I have been seeing alot of .243's appearing this year.No wonder it took me so long to get my frame:D

Hey Broken_Spoke that's a nice ride there and you are right about the price of it.Great bike and a great price,enjoy:D

Hell ya! sweet ride. The geometery reminds me of a LeToy. Got any numbers?

[Nd4spd]

:heart: Damn Mike that is just the Bomb:D It has to be a bitch to have to ride that bike huh:D

[MikeD]

Site says 15 3/4" chainstay, 22.6" TT (large), 67 HA, as I remember.

I think the HA's like 68 in practice, the TT seems a tad shorter (measuring a hair over 22" horizontal), stay length is spot-on.

Thanks for the kind words! (It'll be even better once I get my next shipment of parts from this mailorder place... :D)

:eek: Gasp! You support mail-order? Don’t you know your friendly local bike shop has everything you could ever need?

That geometery sounds fun! Very similer to the LeToy with the short rear end and slack head angle. I bet it rips on smooth DH courses. I'd love to try one out some day.

Friendly LSB has every thing yeah right who who kidding:confused: You even mention that you have talked to a online shop and watch them go nuts;)

Just for the record i'm not bashing any LSB's but there are times when you need a part or a "bike" because you are prepared so that you don't wait till April and say hey i need this now.

If i hear one more time "you won't be able to ride it now anyways" or my favorite "it's on backorder".My god don't they still ride bikes on the west coast or in the south during the winter on the east coast and don't suppliers still have parts to sell:confused:

Myself i have a deadline of the end of March to have everything ready for the season if not the 15th of March.I don't wait till the last minute for anything that i think i need;)

bwahahahahaha that nicolai is so SICK, like a BENZ S 500 on 20's bumpin down tha STREET sick sick sick. i love it.

A few things happened to them.

First, I understand EWR was not the most financially stable company in the world and left quite a bit of debt in their wake.

Second, EWR's were welded by a Philadelphia builder called Grove Innovations and apparently the Original Woods Bike frame was a modified version of a frame Grove had already been building. I know a guy in Philly with one of the Groves and it's like an EWR on steriods. A few years ago Grove stopped building bike frames although I understand they will weld one up if enough money is waived in front of them.

Third, I know Jay DeJesus to some extent and Jay is a "free spirit" if there ever was one. It would be very much like him to start a project, have some fun with it, and then move on to something new.

I had a EWR Woods frame and it was a really cool bike. I had it built up with the parts on my Chameleon (search this thread) as a psuedo-DS bike. My main beefs with it were the really high bottom bracket with a 4" Z-1 and the extremely limited rear tire clearance (I had to run a 1.9) so I re-purchased my Chameleon and still have that now. I sold the EWR some months ago.

[ELECTRIC WIZARD]

My bike has been here so many times, this is the 3rd frame my bike has had on this thread... 24-7 v4.

well urban so far but this thursday im going to see how it fairs on the trails. next year ill probly do the comfort DH race on it and i might take it with me to europe for the summer. cant really get a good close up. camera sucks. ill have to use a friends for any decent closeup shots. thats the only part that sucks about spending so much on bikes, there isnt any money for anything else!

[LostBoyScout]

I posted a thread about it, but I'll put a pic here too... the Le Toy is temporarily done :)

[CTR]

Scout, thats the nicest Le toy build i've ever seen, did you strip it back yourself or do they come like that from the factory?

[LostBoyScout]

CTR, thanks!! Still needs some details addressed but I'm happy with it :)

It came with the factory brushed finish. I took some 600 grit and Autosol Aluminum Polish to it :)

[LostBoyScout]

DJ2.. no time on it yet though :(

This weekend!

[MikeD]

Ok, here's my Nicolai again, now with some better parts on there...nothing too visible, but that's now a black evil bashring (more on that one later...), some Answer Protapers, new Rotovator discs, new dual Hope/521 wheelset with Maxxis 2.35 mobster SR/HR 60d combo, FSA V-drive cranks...lookin' pretty pimp and riding even better.

Bike is really slack, but turns fast thanks to the short rear end. Feels great on the trail, not bad on the street...I'm trying to learn how to really ride pavement with it. I'm pretty much still working on getting *good* at bunnyhopping, riding manuals for more than 2-3 seconds, trackstanding, and the rest of the basic skills, to be honest.

[MikeD]

Non-drive side (sorry these pix suck; I'll try to get some better ones when the sun's back up; need some fill flash in there and a bit more exposure...)

[MikeD]

From the front

[MikeD]

Evil bashguard

Frankly, after waiting so long, I'm a bit disappointed that it's got those stripes...just don't get why it's not solid black with a logo...

I think all black with a really small 'EVIL' near the edge would be sweet, maybe with the skull on there, too.

Maybe an orbital sander will take care of the 'problem...' if I get bored enough. What do you all think of it aesthetically?

(I don't really harp on this crap too much; I'm very happy with the guards in operation and am going to ride it without whining about it from now on; I was just suprised at the design for an 'urban' guard...it looks like Art Deco to me! Urban, yes, contemporary, no... :p )

MD

[Urban_P1]

dope pics, i love that bike, whats the retail on the frame anyway?

[Rabie]

Looking good Mike. Sounds like a good call on the sander.

[VooDoo]

If yoru on Hcor they say it comes off pretty easily with a hobby knife.

You'll need to PM Nicolai-USA for the up-to-date info; the Euro vs Dollar fluctuations can change it...the Nicolai website has an estimate of $850 Euros.

Rabie, I really think I might do that, but it's not hugely important to me. Can't wait to get some riding in with you. (you should get one white Nicolai decal for your frame; it'd look striking against all the black. Put it on the top of the downtube or something... :p )

MD

[LostBoyScout]

Wow, I guess I'm one of the few that like the stripes on the new Evil guides :)

The bike is looking amazing!

Well, I know I've posted these pics ALL OVER the web, but hell - this is a burly-ass hardtail, so I may as well put 'em here:

http://www.resnet.wm.edu/~dlbroo/imp5a.jpg


These are pretty much the ONLY pictures that have ever come out of my digital camera that I'm 100% satisfied with; too bad it took like a whole hour to set up the shoot.

Specs:
'03 Evil Imperial
'98 Marzocchi Z.1 Dual
24" Arrow DHX laced to Hayes Elite, 3.0 Intense rubber
XT discs, 8"/6"
FSA X-drive cro-mo cranks, 22/36
Evil DRS
XTR shifter/derailleurs/SRAM Attack front shifter
Atomlabs Trail King pedals
FSA Pig DH Pro
FSA 1.5 reducers
FSA DH400 bar
Thomson 70mm stem, 410mm post
WTB SST/K seat
Really not sure on weight, scale says 38# but I think it's about 40.

[VooDoo]

and ANOTHER z1 dual :lust:
i love that bike.. thseo wheels look so mean :devil:

[MisterMental]

why a sram front shifter?

[MikeD]

Trimmability...I run SRAM fronts even if I'm using a trigger rear, too.

[MisterMental]

trimability?

[sub6]

Originally posted by MisterMental

Yep. That means if your chain is rubbing on the derailleur cage at extreme crosschain situations (like 22/34t rear going up a steep-ass hill) you can click the derailleur cage over a hair to eliminate the rubbing. Or, when trying to shift under pressure, you can overshift a click or two to speed up the shift. It just gives you more adjustability than a trigger, which is all-or-nothing.

Thanks man, they're BRUTAL. I can just case the hell out of anything, at like 15psi, no worries about p-flats. Plus, it's like having rear suspension!

[ELECTRIC WIZARD]

Nicest Evil build yet IMO, good job!

[narlus]

here's the latest version of the evil -

http://www.mygonzo.com/media/12077.jpg

threw on a mich 2.8 fr and mobster 2.7 rear, DH tubes in both, and of course the monster. ready for bromont? we'll see! :)

here's a shot from the perspective of whatever's about to get run over:

http://www.mygonzo.com/media/12078.jpg


i'm bringing my DH bike too, just in case...

[the BIG cheese]

yummy. i really cant wait to try mine out with more than 4 inches of travel. breakout baby:devil:

[monkeyboy424]

that is a sweet evil narlus....

Narlus- Sweet!!

[Urban_P1]

dope evil (g)narly :D

[Nd4spd]

Damn Narlus that Evil is so pimping:thumb: I'd love to get my hands on one of those Monsters as it is the only one that i would consider putting on my .243 Racing:thumb:


On a side note i had a set of the 2.7 Highrollers on the Mavic D3.1's last week.Wondered why and what for you setup the Evil with the beefier tires:confused: I take it Bromount but what for:confused: I had them on the .243 Racing but went back to the Michelin 2.2 Comp 24's again.Figuared i had them use them:confused:

[remi]

I think I saw that on Hcor ... too bad it isn't black ...

[narlus]

did a couple of runs on the evil @ bromont yesterday.

sweet! but damn am i out of shape. my legs were like jello (this was day 2 of our first DHing of the season).

the bike was a blast though, even though i soon retired it for my couch (giant DH).

one thing for evil owners - if you are gonna run a big tire on the rear (i had a 2.7" mobster), you probably wanna run it in the longest wheelbase position. i didn't feel like changing my housing/cable (too short) so i left it in the middle. it cleared the frame fine but buzzed on the chainguide plate every once in a while under hard pedaling or cornering.

[schwinnstr8]

peel the sticker off on the downtube. thats what i did with mine, and the bike looks MUCH better.

it peels right off. you may need a little solvent to get of a bit of sticky ****, but for the most part it comes right off.

here it is.

oooh, you keepin tha RM too?

[Shortbus]

I think i might keep my RM7 coz the new ones are 5 lbs heavier than the 2001s, so I might hang on to it, being a lighter weight 7" frame and all...

I do have some other ones that need to go, like that Azonic DS1... Your friend doesn't want it? I am asking 150 shippd so i would (-) the shipping for him....

I would feel bad riding one of those.......esp for street. DJ not so much, but i would still worry a lot. like, hit a jump, stop, wipe down w/rag, hit a jump, stop, wipe down, etc etc

This is how I plan to ride it :P

I am curiously easy on equipment... otherwise I could never see myself riding it.

Picked it up this evening... weeeeeeee!! I can't wait to build it up. One problem I found, is that I can't bring myself to put my old crud on it :P I am seeking lighter, more exotic (but still freeridish) components for it.. like Thomson stem and post, carbon riser, 2.35 single ply Maxxis, atomlab DHRs with King apple green hubs...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid65/pa033b276eaa2877aaedb72ea59912519/fbf00aed.jpg

Dude, that bike deserves Mavic, not (*&#$@ Atomlab...get yourself some 521s or D3.1, or maybe the Arrow FR or Tiogas...!

What kind of cranks are you thinking? XTR DH cranks or RF Turbines might be the way to go...

Sweet, sweet frame! I think you oughta hang on to the Toy and singlespeed it/street-trials it out. I would if I had even the vaguest ability to handle a bike, which I don't.

And check your PM ;)

MD

[LostBoyScout]

haha.. the DHR's are nice rims! Those are the only Atomlabs I'd put on this guy. It's more likely I'd do dual Tioga DH's since I already have one.

I have polished Deore splined cranks I'll use for now.. XTR is what I'm thinking for the future though! Or maybe some RF's in that lime colour :eek: :D

And yes.. the Le Toy with dual 24s (and Arrow Launches) and the DJ2 reduced to 80mm would be SWEET!!!! I'm dreaming now :D

Dang BAH...... so sick. You icepeep folk have swanky rides.

[LostBoyScout]

I feel the Sinister posted by Private Joker needs to be catalogged in this thread.

im almost done with my bike

all i need is a front maxxis mofo dh 2.35 and a new rear avid arch rival brake and a front xt disc hub then i will be happy with the matchingness of my bike

i will frolick in a field of poppies when this happens, after that, i will post a pic of my beautiful bike.......

[Lizard0fthetrai]

That Punkass is so very stealth...you can barely see the diffefrence in parts, that or the contrast was set too low when you took it.

i just got the front brake adapter... i routed the line through the steerer tube... works perfect. the 24" wheels leave ample room for it.

that KHS looks rad, esp. for under 350! might wanna drop the stem under the spacers tho, that might give you a little better position on the bike....

Thanks, actually I had them on top but it put my body in a funky position for riding actually. Because its my commuter and will be used for XC, thats a little too low in the front for me, my back starts to ache.

[PGKelly]

gotcha. i like to run my front end as low as possible for a more BMXish feel.

Squash.....NICE Ds1. Very nice.

I have some pics of 2 azonics I built for friends last year. I'll post 'em after work.

El Azonico Rojo

[Renntag]

Nice, is that custom paint and decals? Was it originally black or polished? The decals dont look like Azonic standard issue.

[baldy]

Original paint. I removed all of the factory decals and replaced with vinyl die-cut letters found at any hardware store.

Picked it up this evening... weeeeeeee!! I can't wait to build it up. One problem I found, is that I can't bring myself to put my old crud on it :P I am seeking lighter, more exotic (but still freeridish) components for it.. like Thomson stem and post, carbon riser, 2.35 single ply Maxxis, atomlab DHRs with King apple green hubs...


:eek: I LOVE the candy apple green hub idea, jason. (this is durchhalten w/ the specialist from the 'tex btw.)

I'd be dead jealous if work on my new frame hadn't just begun. 6-8 nerve racking weeks and i should have her in my hands. I'm considering some unique build ideas as well, but they might have to wait until i clear some financial roadblocks. I'll post pics here as soon as i have something to photograph.

broke yer first one eh? did you break it at the ht/tt juncture? I read some reviews about peeps breaking their evolutions and was kinda steering away from them. so I talked to the guys at azonic and they said it was a bad batch of frames sold as complete bikes. they said they haven't had a prob since. yours looks sweet though! thinking of getting the 14" version

[Kilgore]

are you running 24's? hard to tell...

[ROOTBALL]

YEA, ht/tt juncture RIPPED, Tore my lip good on that one.
The evolution II is hard to get Tire Clearance
with 26" wheels with burly rims. I run it with duel 24"s on the street and 26" in the front on the trail.

IF YOU GUYS DO ALLOT OF STREET RIDING
TRY SOME HOOK WORMS. FUN TIRES!

[Glennder!!]

My new rig. All built up.
