taking a shit with my boobs out
HD6 ? Earlier in the year I was checking regularly during the big Yeti and everything sales at Summit and Sprockets... not a cent dropped on that HD6 bike or frame.
I would have replaced the Deviate with one if it went on sale.
Funny, in the USA on the 15/10 the HD6 went on sale at 25% off, the next day on the 16/10, Rowney send an email, HD6 in traffic cone orange 15% off.
Im over it now, I'll keep the Deviate and buy another eeb at some stage.
I'm not going to spend $13k on a normal bike if I can't get a test ride, I have no problem paying $500 for the privilege.
Which is weird, because I'm seriously considering an Acto even though I can't test ride it and I know the after sales will be difficult due to distance. If the lead time wasn't 4-5 months I reckon I would have ordered one by now.
The search continues....
Stoll bikes although the seat angle is weird:
TRAIL 2.2
More dynamics, calm at the limit, emotional in design - our T2.2 An Alpine tour lives from a touch of adventure. Climbable or too steep. Rideable or maybe too inaccessible. When you need to rely 100% on your bike, that's when the terrain of the T2.2 begins. As one of the lightest trail bikes...

Spot Mayhem, RAAW, hmm just order the Acto
Those Swedes are very innovative!
Swiss, not Swedes
Dammit!

Manitou FS II Future MTB Project Reimagines Mountain Bike Classic with Gamux & Pinion
Wild prototype Manitou FS II trail bike project reinvents an MTB legend with 2 suspension forks front & rear, plus a Pinion gearbox now too!

It's interesting, current bikes seem to have all settled at the same place so at least it's not a cookie cutter 65/76 degree horst link 29er.
Those chain stays and main pivot are going to need to be rigid AF to stop the DU's in the rear fork binding up.
I like the bonded carbon elements in the main frame, would be interesting to see the FEA on it though to see if it works or is just marketing spin. I know that will be hard to believe in the MTB world, but sometimes they just make shit up!

I’ve always thought a modern version of some of the early FS bikes would be cool. Manitou was one of them, along with GT RTS (with idler).New old, not sure what to think of this.

But this is an abomination. Aside from fork derived suspension mechanism, it looks nothing like the original. And looks shit on its own merits to boot.

Yep, it doesn't that the right amount of CNC coolness and isn't a pretty design. I guess they made just because they could.
I think someone here would be interested in a Manitou bike with front and rear Mezzers

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Also missing a 20 something Kate Moss glamour shot.Yep, it doesn't that the right amount of CNC coolness and isn't a pretty design. I guess they made just because they could.

Cables routed through the handlebar & into the frame, caliper/rotor hidden by cassette. It does look misleading/weird though. Also f*ck working on it.

Blocking a shot of a Manitou FS is unforgivable, I don’t care how rootable you are.Also missing a 20 something Kate Moss glamour shot.

I think coke, and not the sugary caffeinated beverage kind, and cigarettes might be the only way to keep thin enough in order not to crack the headtube on one of those tasty old bikes.

Is your displeasure at the lack of "VPP"? I froth a good Horst-link bike, but it was a surprise to see. I suspect target market wouldn't know any difference, and hey - at least with the Horst you can easily fit a long-travel dropper post.I know this is the wrong thread, but I'm in a bit of a hurry...
