it may just be the mast but it looks like a very short reach vs 'seat tube' length frame?

All bikes look the same with the lights off - maybe she's a good ride??
For some reason I'm doubtful.

Does it come with a step ladder to get on it?

Photo of non-drive side and chain in smaller chainring fail. Patio is literally spotless, however.

I think one of the staffers should call them and ask them to explain. I am really[i] that[/i] curious.

Look at that BB height

Optical illusion? It looks less than half an inch above the axles, add in 2" of sagg and thats a 12" BB which is pretty much what all bikes have? Shock looks horificaly short for a 7" bike though.

On the web site under 'Bikes' they show another model that has blue stantions on the Fox forks. Is blue kashima more slippery than gold?

That's crazy, it's almost as daft as someone spending loads of money taking an old cruiser bike design and making it into a modern mtb, who'd do that?.

Looks like its been designed by a blind man. The same blind man also took care of their product photography for them.

If it's real I want them, but I suspect it's an epic photoshop fail?

Thought it looked more like an old cannoandale raven. Can't find a good photo.

Surely the latter.

EDIT: nice slick tyres too. Maybe it's their take on a commuter? ๐Ÿ˜€

If David Hasselhoff ever gets the biking bug, then I think you may have found exactly what he'd be looking for!

Bizarre. Looks like it's supposed to be a DH or FR (or AM whatever it's called now) bike long travel, but small air shock, long stem, rubbish standover clearence and you aint going to be able to drop the saddle. ALways been sceptical about those sort of wheels, do they have brake surfaces too?

Oh yeah and [b]every[/b] branch.

Do they do a 29er version? I mean, its already hideous, may as well go the whole hog.

Looks just like any other full sus bike to me.

What's the difference?

Patio is literally spotless, however.

The way the rear wheel hovers above the patio is a bit disturbing though.

Well, the front brake seems to work without a brake hose for a start ๐Ÿ˜€
