    I don't mean this as a troll, but I have to ask...

    Considering there are so many amazing frames on the market from companies with stellar reputations, why would anyone consider something form a company with a less than favorable rep?

    Genuinely curious here.
    In no way involved in running Dropmachine.com, or what its become.

    Maybe because all cyclists like to suffer?

    Seriously, the brand is legendary (esp on the East Coast), Dee Dub and some other respected characters are involved, and they are doing some cool stuff. Personally I'm glad to see customers willing to overlook the recent issues and continue to have faith.

    Blatantly biased in favor of Santa Cruz Bikes, Enve Composites, E.13, and The Hive. Just sayin'.

    I've been nothing but stoked on my bike and knowing I had a early 1st gen that problems might be a situation I might have to deal. For ****s sake I havew owned 22 VW's.

    The bike rode awesome, felt great under me. Would other bikes feel that way too, yes. Im be piloting a F1 Jedi and whatever Evil i wind up with this year.

    I'm rooting for Evil, for sure. But at this point, I would take the wait and see approach.

    If things are not spelt out and someone is not there to teach the spelling the wheels certainly do come off (or your headtube falls off) in my experience..

    Yet if they DID actually promote this as-yet unavailable frame, people would be criticising them for failing to deliver the goods... maybe they just want the ability to work on the thing and make sure it's actually done right, without the teething issues the Revolt had?

    I'm not saying they should post stuff about the Undead, just would be nice to see the site updated, I mean they signed Cam Zink.. you would think that would be big news for them? Maybe put up some info on the changes made to the '11 Revolt, just asking for something.

    maybe its a good sign that the site hasn't been updated... one could take it to mean that they are more focused on other more important things at the moment

    Wow, is the grammar Nazi guild away at a convention? This thread is rife with error.

    It's actually refreshing... let them stay away.
