BB's a bit high.
Long, low, slack. Pick none.
Floats over rough stuff though.

Now with convenient carry handle…Much want. Because, well just look at it!
The pricing looks very good considering the technology and level of customisation. I'm assuming that the fatigue life on these would be insane and you could get frame parts reprinted. This could be a real winner.Atherton bikes now online. Pricing not as insane as I thought it would be.

Yeah same. That UK price includes VAT so an extremely rough guess is probably around $7500 for a frame with an X2 here.Atherton bikes now online. Pricing not as insane as I thought it would be.

He could weld for Orange.Not exactly a newly 'released' bike, but this guy has done a pretty bang up job I reckon. Looks cool as! Custom fork is pretty mad too.

Oh yeah, looks like his mate drank half the carton of beer payment BEFORE turning the welder on. It's def a backyard job, but sounds like bloke can ride a bit and if he achieves his goal of qualifying for a WC round, there will be a few people with confused look saying, "I thought I just saw a Sunday go past, WTAF???" Good on him.He could weld for Orange.
I didn’t read the full story, or note the builder/rider, but if he’s going to the trouble and expense of doing the WC as a privateer, and using that to do so, he’s gotta be a rich playboy with too much time on his hands.

So what if he is a rich playboy, makes no diff to me and I can't imagine he's spending more hours on his MTB habit than you do. He's also got world cup events going on basically in his back yard and was/is a massive Sam Hill fan.
Sounds to me like he knows he's not ever going to be top 10 or anything, just a bloke in his late 20's wanting to try to be a part of it on a bike that reminds him of watching his hero tear tracks apart back in the day.
I don't see anything wrong with that at all. Could totally see myself attempting similar in the same circumstances, maybe you're just jealous. There can only be one Hill #1 fan! Haha.
