Hi do you still have your lahar?,was yours the one with the ti spokes?still got mine looking pimping it abit soon,what spokes where they,did you have any trouble with them flex-breaking-mission to lace up etc.,was hoping you could give some advice on the best ones to get.Thanks Rod

Good write up on the Lahar on nsmb! I'm very envious of your bike! Got interested in the Lahars ever since I saw them flying silently down the hill on the Fort Bill world cup course in 2006... I went down to the pits to search them out and they were like the smallest camp in the farthest corner but I went and had a good look. Totally awesome bikes!! It's like they hit the holy grail of DH frame design almost.. I never got to ride one or buy one but I can imagine it's exactly as required for fast DH duties.

I'm a full advocate of carbon for DH frame materials. Currently I work as a Composites Technologist for the Williams F1 Team here in the UK and just wish I could use our factory facilities to make a decent carbon DH frame but company policy sadly prevents it...

I've since bought a Katipo - a decent steel, non-gearbox equivalent and I love it!

I love that these carbon Lahars just keep going without issues.

Enjoy your bike!!
