Nice weapon mate, good to see a single pivot, linear rate cromo suspension frame in 2012. How does she ride? Gravity likes a bit of density packed into smaller tubing cause it cuts through the air just fine on the way down:nod:

coming from a 2011 makulu with CCDB, my opinion is it rides superior for my particular style of riding. the morewood was a beautiful bike and loved every second on it. how ever getting from that to this. im riding my style rather than changing how i ride for the bike. (most components are swap over from the makulu build) different wheels. and post. it jumps and pops with ease, a very very short rear triangle,, helps getting over the rear and manuals are a piece of piss. OEM set up is low and slack. with modern geometry. and the elka so far has gone beyond my expectations and what the reviews say.

build weight as you see is 16.7kg with new wheels being built to cut another 550g and a proto Ti coil for the boxxers. so looking to get at around 15.8-16kg dont want it any lighter, or it will start to ride like shit.
