Wow! I forgot these guys existed. I had a very quick play with one of these a while back and they seemed pretty good. I really thought they were going ahead with production, they went to the trouble of exhibiting at the Canberra Worlds and it all seemed very professional. Ashame if it was abandoned.

Go have a look in the project car thread. Bill mentioned not having much spare time lately what with that sexy GT he's been working on... Still coming I thinks!

I do hope the frames still go into production, I had a bounce on a demo one at the Worlds and was very impressed.

Bilt DH bike will still be going ahead. As Binner said, I just got sidetracked for a while restoring my car which had been sitting patiently for 6 years waiting for me to fix it up!
In the mean time there has been a constant tinkering and tweaking with the bike going on in the back ground by a few key people that have really made it a better thing.
By the time it hits production it will look a little different to the ones you've seen but close. As a lot of the development work has also been done on "mates rates" it is a slow process.....But we can see the light at the end of the tunnel getting closer!

Just a note on how good it's been going....The bikes you see at races are the original prototypes we got and are now over two years old! No cracking or breaking problems. All we've had to do is throw some new bearings at them at the beginning of this season and that's it...They have been so reliable it's scary!
