Now let's get down to the serious work of e-bitching. I will start - no stealth dropper post cable routing. More importantly, Rude's shoes and watch don't match. Bad form bro, bad form.

Probably too lazy to change.

 

[FarkinRyan]

Saw it today. Definitely a bike, appeared to have as much as 72% moar betterz than other bikes in the lineup.

don't say that near richie. he might go all incredible hulk on you.

I assume its just the picture (speaking of which, we really need better Whistler spy shots), but it sorta looks like its got a 650 up front and a 26 in the back. Regardless, I'm still waiting for your a 29r front and a 26r back, which will give you the same wheel inches as two 650 wheels, yet provide unstoppable roll overs combined with playful short twitch acceleration.

on an enduro bike, cause, it's the same as road.

 

[Sandwich]

is 650b allowed by the UCI though?

 

[jackalope]

UCI doesn't seem to mind all the DH bikes are running 650s now. Then again, they may have forgotten DH even exists (e.g. I bet they still haven't updated the overall points on their "website").

They're finally starting to look like road bikes. IE: the uci 'comfort zone'

That's why dirt road races on road bikes with 2" of front travel get more events!

 

[jackalope]

at le tour?

Shouldn't be a problem...

 

[MinorThreat]

Back to the bike . . . if it achieves what the rail-and-car did without the rail-and-car, I say all the better.

You mean win at the speed trap?

 

[jonKranked]

[Da Peach]

Gonna be a sweet bike.

 

[dump]

You mean win at the speed trap?

If it wasn't to pop in and report on winning the speed trap, what would JP do over here? Same w/ stick reporting that some guy got a photo taken of him in TL kit. Thrilling news!

 

[marshalolson]

is that a long travel enduro bike?

 

[kidwoo]

Nah, it's an all mountain bike with two dicks in a box.

 

[jackalope]

I dunno, pretty sure that's one of them new bikes from Lazy Boy
