Rotec Revert 5.0

[pink poodle]

I'm keen to hear how that concentric suspension feels over the bumps? I've always avoided these sort of frames out of concerns it would ride rough through chunk and chunder, with wheel hook making me sad. Id love to hear I'm rong!

You're raising some good points for him. Let the dollars rain!!!

it is the least I can do after the infamous 5010 v2 incident, where, he did help me at a time when I had to show restraint.

Everyone needs at least one enabler in their life.

We'll see what happens when the newie comes along, i was hoping to keep this one too, you might have to fight Russ for it if the aussie dollar screws me over again..

Rotorburn is still disappointed you didn’t end up buying it.

I dont think it would be much of a full blown plow machine, although i havent given it a real hard time yet. I did do one quick run down a local "downhill" track but other aspects of the setup were more restrictive in that circumstance rather than the pivot placement. The worst it will see is some flow trails like Hero, hopefully soon!

You also need to have something to want but never own.

Yes, I know I let you all down.
I can still blame the lack of shedfloor space and no skill for riding uber bikes of any kind That'll do it.

The TRc still out skills me

Hero will be a good test of the suspension performance. We keen to know.

I think it was arrow racing (or something like that) way way way back in the dual compressor days that first caught my eye with the concentric BB. Most of my riding around town here is pretty flat and I could be convinced to get something like this for keeping the cruising simple. Maybe a soda slope.

You’re a giant carrot.

Consider me a flexitarian as of now

@Daniel Hale, did I give you that stuff?

No forgot

 

[moorey]

So much stuff changed hands, maybe someone else got it. That low end 8sp shifter must be highly prized.

You kept the bag though right?

Well after waiting about 14 months, ive pulled the pin on the prototype. I was told id have the frame by last December, then February, then silence.. I havent had a bike that i can ride propper trails on since december, this thing is fun, but its like a day on the go karts when you just wanna hammer a full size circuit..

Time to look for a new enduro rig..
