5'10", is a fairly small frame for me but just what I wanted
|
|
camel trebuchet... better than throwing shoes eh!
|
|
p.s. if I had a ridiculously unnecessary amount of money and wanted a totally awesome but uselessly impractical car, this would definitely be the one for me!
|
|
so that's 1 out of 3 things better than England then, the weather sucks here too!
 |
|
ha ha, I'm super jealous man, that bike is rad! tis just a Mountain Cycles with MX fairings right? - you totally need some USD forks like Marzocchi Shivers on there to complete that moto look!
 |
|
nope!? I saw some of the 'drop in tv' series in NZ, but I'm mainly going because my bro and a mate already live out there...
|
|
|
...... to shred! + I've got work lined up for me over there but haven't been able to get a new job here for the last year or so, so I'm bailing this dump and going to live in the land of sheep & mountains!
|
|
|
|
the argument being that hydro's are a total waste of money for dj'ing I hope!? you only need vee's!
|

very sweet pic
 and what the pic doesn't show is the real steep drop that is the landing and the 15ft drop-in that is the run up, mental trails! Wish I'd bought my helmet when I went there! |
|

Orange use sheet metal and fold it, plus I just realised yours has double top-tubes and Hz d/o's, my bad! I checked out some of the larger pics on your profile and this pic actually doesn't do the frame justice, its got some nice features!
- my apologies! |
|
|
so did you fix the issues to work with the LG1 or just expect everyone to get the G2?
|
|
|
ha ha, its a total design rip-off of the old Orange MsIsle or the new Miii and I'd stake my life on the Orange being better!- It seems to be the way with a lot of this 'boutique' new brands that the only nice thing about the frames is the paint work
|
|
|
my wheels pro2/DT/Sun EQ29 weigh less than that and cost 1/3rd the price -
 , mega fail on Crankbrothers part considering those wheels probably aren't even as stiff or strong and cost a fortune to repair when they bend! |
|
|
how awesome would it be to live down there!
|
|
wow, is Pirate compensating for something with the size of his bike?
|
|
I think some people haven't heard of the god-on-a-bike that is MacAskill, the rider isn't superimposed and this pic is just straight up awesome, the watermark is very well done too!
This picture doesn't make me want to ride though, the consequences of me trying to ride them poles would be hysterical [for onlookers] and painful [for me], as my trials ninja skills are entirely non-existent! |
|
Ah that Alutech was/is sic too - very nice! And yeh, there is a lot of people on Wildcards, but they all don't seem to hang on to them for very long, from the time I've had on my Wildcard, it rides ok, but entirely lacks that 'wow' factor that puts a grin on your face - its got somewhat rudimentary performance - I may look into getting a Konig though [hopefully they'll make one in red
] as people seem to rave about how they ride a lot more, and the build quality certainly looks a lot better! |
|
|
ha ha thanks, I think its cursed that's all lol - its not so much the frame but everything associated with it, all the parts keep going wrong/breaking and building the bike up was a nightmare, and I just can't get to grips with the bike, keep crashing it and stacking every jump, even 'broke' my neck riding it
 never had such bad luck before. When I was choosing a frame, it was a mash up between the Solid Flair, wildcard and the Konig, can't help but think the Konig might have been better |
|
|
WOW, that's sooooo nice! I really wish I'd got one of these frames instead of the nightmare that is my Wildcard
 - didn't have the extra £500 at the time though.... |
|
|
ha ha, 6ft to flat will do that to your bike, I tried 8ft to flat slippery mud landing once on a 5" travel bike... it didn't go well needless to say!
|
|
|
how many miles-to-flat did you huck this time?
|
|
ha ha, the Catholic's have massacred and tortured about as many people as the Empire over the years too
|
|
- I think this is the funniest comment I've ever read! |
|
holy crap, I'm too afraid of heights for me to go anywhere near that edge... but seriously, what a view!
- and is it a straight drop to the ground underneath that you can see? |
|
this was done using Solid Edge, but the initial 2D outlay of the kinematics and geometry was done using DeltaCAD, which is a fairly basic but useful 2D CAD program
|
|
|
cheers man - this was just a draft really, some extra weight loss and strengthening could always be done on the links, rear triangle and main triangle side panels - thanks for the feedback
|
|
|
ha ha, wow - thats one sweet rock garden field! go to the top of the hill then just point and shoot down
|
|
that's a pretty mental gap, tis about 35ft, I've been to rogate twice but haven't mustered the courage to hit it myself yet - will do next time though!
|
|
not sure why, but I reckon that guy's sponsored by Fox!
|
|
they dont need to, they do a version with a concentric bb
|
|
|
ha ha, urban northshore - I like it
|
|
again, another rad picture - looks like a good time!
