So, where is the Evil Bikes Interbike report?
- Thread starter homepiece
- Start date
"Secret Location" and "they will text you". Saw some of their soon to be official agents running around, but all was silent on the Evil front. The "real" show only starts today though.
It's room 347. They just duct taped some shlt to the walls.
To their credit though, they won't let you enter the room without 3D glasses. They really want to control the ambiance.
$5 say they get everyone gathered up for the "secret meeting". They blindfold everyone then take them to the bunny ranch.
Except if they don't behave and they will be sent to the basement together with the gimp.
Thanks to your comment I just had the image of the typical marzocchi ad with the girls holding frames instead of forks.
He is the gimpfixed
Should be a very productive I-Bike for them. As soon as they get some down time, I'm sure they'll come out of the Bat Cave for a talk and some drinks... :biggrin:
Damn, Evil bikes is about as tight as Dick Cheney's Spincter and/or a Sarah Palin interview!
supposedly, a milfy soccer mom is running evil bikes, now. she's not all that qualified, so evil is being very restrictive with press access....no interviews, no questions and no writers will be allowed access to the press release.
i guess they're only allowing 1 or 2 photographers and a pre-approved video crew to shuffle through the room, but they've only got 40 seconds to get in, snap some shots, then GTFO.

Plus she wears lipstick and can see Russian from her house.
I don't know about you but I don't think Kevin is much of a MILF...
"Seattle, Oregan..."
HA, HA, HA...:biggrin:

There is one thing you must know about sriracha, he loves man bulge.
Good for Thomas, he deserved a ride badly! I still can't believe Rocky let him go after all those years when he still has a lot of career left in him.
My parents came to visit me once in Seattle. I brought them to 38 to show them the new sport I had discovered. So we're on the JW trail, (when the exit onto the JW was still straight down). Kevin came down, attempted a nose wheelie, and went over the bars and landed at my dad's feet. It was funny.
Agreed, great luck to be able to pick up Vanderhaam. That's a ****-ton of riding experience, lots of street-cred, and from what I can tell a hell of an ambassador. Maybe not filming the new school lines these days, but will be able to give Evil fantastic feedback on their new line.
Not too shabby.....
so just a sp link bike w/ a bit of adjustability (vaguely commencal-esque)? seems a bit anticlimactic, actually. i was expecting something like a carbon nanotech gearbox based on reverse engineered alien technology with all the smoke & secrecy. looks good, however.
Actually it looks like just a regular single pivot. Looks like a floating shock, Bottom of shock is driven by swingarm like normal and the top portion is a reiteration of his reverse moto-link.... maybe? Main pivot is similar position to oh say a pre-dwlink turner dhr... If its a floating shock, it would make sense he can adjust it for any leverage ratio rather easily, as well as geometry like is stated in the "Tech crap" section.

i'm not convinced it a single pivot. hopefully that picture is hiding something. cuz right now it sure looks like a single pivot. which would make me laugh.
crazy SP!
it's difficult to tell what's going on, but it looks like the shock mounts just behind the main pivot. and then, in front of the main pivot, the swing arm pulls down on that triangular bell crank, which compresses the shock from the front mount as well. so, both shock mounts are moving in response to the swing arm. thus, provided there are front and rear mounting options for the shock, this would allow the user to adjust i2i and leverage ratios, couple that with an adjustable headtube and you've got some geometry and leverage options.

definitely looks like a floating shock. should be interesting.
[strikethrough]I speculate that it has a short dogbone link that is vertical from what looks like the single pivot point to a frame pivot near the BB and the at the upper link is from the front of the swingarm to the trailing point of the triangle and actuates the shock/spring. This would give the possibility of a wheel path that is basicly described as an arc around the "single pivot" like point and in the event of a square edged hit the wheel can move back and up. Chain tension will keep the suspension pulled up tight against the frame.
Again this is wild speculation and conjecture based on the one picture I've seen on the internet and a disbelief that DW would settle for a single pivot bike.[/strikethrough]
My wild speculation has been corrected by Transcend.
Single pivots FTW!

kinda looks like a reverse (and more compact, obviously) variation of the nicolai mpire. ie, dual pull rods actuating the triangular shock link (assuming the bottom shock mount that we can't see is fixed). though i'd assume there's more to it if there's patent action going on.
I read the tech section... basically the goal of the design was to allow for adjustable frame geometry without sacrificing wheel path or suspension performance. Makes sense judging by the head tube, which looks like its gonna be the adjustable style.
Mr Weagle has been a very busy man.
This is one bike I definitely wanna ride.

Also, the color scheme of their website makes my eyes hurt. White text on black background is a no-no from a web design standpoint (too much contrast). Then throwing the bright yellow is just some salt in my already burning retinas. No offense to evil, but it just needs to be toned down a touch.
it is everything you want it to be & more.
