Brant, how about some more info on the 45650b and other bikes that are due? Might help me keep my wallet in my pocket and wait!
How tall are you Dean? And what dimension is your saddle top from your BB centre (out of interest).
The scandal measures 820mm centre of bb to seat, i'm 6'6/ 6'7"
I dont expect all bike manufacturers to make 22" frames it just seems latley that all new 29er's are only going up to 20".
EDIT: Give up, i cant seem to get the pics to link.
820mm bb to saddle top... let's see.
A 20in frame is 508mm.
A 400mm seatpost gives you 300mm extension out of the frame.
A saddle adds about 20-30mm above the clamp on the post.
So that's 508+300+25=833mm.
So you're not even at maximum extension on a 20in frame by my reckoning.
Whilst yer here Mr R...what eye to eye/stroke shock length is it? ta
190x50
#Rummages around under workbench feverishly....
Will the production version be white brant?
I think we'll have a white, a colour (I quite fancy orange) and a super raw.
Orange will do me fine thanks 🙂
I really like the look of this. A replacement for the spesh fsr xc next year maybe 😉
So a saddle to bb of 865mm puts me out, balls!
Being 6ft 9in has certain downsides.
I haven't got any issues with people drilling holes in it for Reverb Stealth running
Why not just buy a LEV????

Hmm well the 21" inbread feels better than the 20" did and not bent a seat post on the 21" yet unlike the 20". Not that far from the shffield shop so will come have a sit on one when they're in. Am open to be proved wrong
Edit. Ignore me
Quick edit
😀
What did I miss?
Still just single ring up front though, right? No front mech.
What's headtube length and headset size gonna be. Somink short n low stack?
Or £1999 with hop ups to a Pike, Reverb and CCDB. - when can we order these?

110mm head tube, external lower, internal upper.

If we get our stuff sorted, by middle of next week.
Thanks for the interest on this everyone. I'll be a bit out of communication for the next week as I'm off to China and Taiwan for the week, then back next Saturday to "Dj" at Citycross in Halifax.
I'll keep an eye on this thread.
What a great bike in prospect and a bloody bargain at 2k !
Academic but how come no flush lower headset, (I.e 56mm)?

I try to keep things standard across our range of bikes, and the Smoothie Mixer has been a standard at our company for a number of years now.
I am looking to move and sample with an internal integrated headset (FSA Orbit C-40 ACB) which is what we use on our road bikes, but am willing to listen (a bit) to suggestions.
That's cool.....straight swap offa the canfield 
Strange to name a bike after a drug that makes you feel really drowsy and hung over. The name would put me off buying it.
There's a story behind the name (and if the name of a bike stops you buying it then I'd be changing your medication).
I personally think it should be called Vicks,Anusol or Buttercup.
If bike names didn't provoke a response then manufacturers wouldn't bother thinking up names, it's all marketing innit? So Rorschach, if you really think that somone who dislikes a particular name must be on "medication", perhaps it's you who needs the medication?
Would you ride a bike called "Lil-let"? 😉
Looks good, but does that mean the El Guapo 29er is now dead in the water and won't make production?
I thought that the smoothie mixer might be the reason. Might be worth the extra inventory tho to get that front end down an extra 15mm or so. (Slave) fitted a pike 150 to my 20" Titus Evo and it did feel pretty tall! so took it off til I can get a shorter air spring!.
Tis looking good all the same aside from not fitting me and slightly high front end 😆 It may be a third Brant bike for me.
Will keep my eyes peeled next week!.

Nahhhh. Never convinced the danger of damaging the frame is as real as people think, but, choice is good- let people fanny around with anglesets etc if they choose (the more-money-than-sense crowd on here will all want to fit £1000 artisan headsets and integrated doesn't have enough space for logos either)
As a wise man once said(me) to someone(not you ,obviously)
"FFS love.It's a chuffin' push bike not a handbag you dosey tit".
None of my bikes have a name and I don't do handbags either! Anyway you didn't answer my question: would you buy a bike called a "Lil-let", or maybe a rufty-tufty name like "mrs tiggy-winkle"? 😛
What does it weigh?
please can we have Fluorescent green so the wife doesn't notice 😀

We have very successfully sold a bike called "pompino" for many years.
Blimey, overthinking the name a bit. 😉
I was happy to go with Brant's story & also to think of it as an effective pain killer. 🙂
I'd buy a bike if it was called 'I am the love child of Piers Morgan and Maggie Thatcher' and was fluorescent puce and purple stripes........as long as it fitted,had great geometry and grippy,supportive and predictable suspension.And I could afford it.And it was reliable.
I don't give a left testicle what it it looks like or what it's called because I can't see myself when I'm riding it and I could'nt give a toss what other people think about it when I over take them (which I'd do a lot...because I am like.....awesome and stuff....not richmtbguru levels of awesome,more surfmatt driving god level stuff).

I'm assuming you've also never owned a cove then?
And Mr M......she ALWAYS notices......
The name would put me off buying it.
Tough crowd 😯 Fortunately for you I don't see the name on either the white or raw frame. Failing that, a few mud rides could disguise the name shame
It's an On One, once all the paint falls off the logos will be gone too.
Pompino I get, just not codeine. Anyway, I'm happy with my un-named bike, and Rorschach is happy with any name, so we're all happy 🙂
Jeffus +1 (but blue)
Northwind, cheeky but very very funny 🙂
Looks good hadn't considered it before but at that price it would be very tempting, if its not too much of a porker, would I be right to assume this is the reason the Ragley full suss bikes never saw light of day?
Any chance of a kid's version? Calpol, anyone?
What's the goss on the JLD, Brant?
