Evil The Following (XL) frame in “Don’t shoot me orange”
Rockshox Pike rct3 120mm
24 ID LB rims on BOR Hubs
XT Brakes
2x XT/SLX drive train
WTB Tyres
Cheap seatpost/bars/stem for testing
I like it & that what counts… far too busy riding it to clean it for the photo’s. Had some issues/concerns with the shock, as I’m obviously at the limit of it range (clydesdale) but some bottomless rings appear to have me well on the way to perfection.
Cheers to Mark @ the Missing link for sorting this out & putting up with many months of indicision/impatience. Oh and big thanks to Lee @ Invisiframe for sorting that out
you say that Mamadirt but the stand over is extremely generous and they do a small (not sure it would be small enough mind..)
PS: Cheers to Tenacious Doug, as his frame was the 1st into invisframe, all the hard work was done to make the kit for mine asap.. so my turn around was extrememly quick
Cheers RP, it’s been a bloody long wait & not been without it’s issues, as the debonair air can is more suited to a more svelte rider, but a set of RS’s bottom less rings have tamed that. Can happily say I’m much much happier on it than the T-129 or Segment I’d tested, though the shock issues (my weight) had me worried for while 😳
I sharn’t try to review it’s ride, but will say it makes me all warm inside and giggly, as I do supposedly challenging trails
There was a hell of a lot of drop initally before I put all the spacers under the bars, think it’s more like 30mm worth of spacers (the on-one stem is tiny), but haven’t actually looked at that lately.. Had assumed with the ‘extra’ headstock length of the XL, that I’d need to keep the front end low with flat bars… it’s been surpring to find I’m probably going to need 20/30mm riser bars. Luckily I got all the component’s in sales, so they cost bugger all…
Qwerty have to admit it’s not mine, though rocking chair would be useful after the contrete climb up to it.. belongs to the Cadbury family, and TBH I’m always surprised some idiot hasn’t burnt it down.. I believe at least one bivvy rider likes to hang there hammock there quite regularly (or used to)
Jes really? I don’t believe there is bike invented (even fat un’s) that’s Wyre friendly once the rain starts.. 😈
Looks like the suspension is bottomed out all the time to me. Honestly, I don’t like how it looks, but I’m sure it rides brilliantly and if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters!
I like it. It looks different to the norm, not just with the linkage, but also with some of the angles of seattube etc.
I’m someone who generally prefers the straighter tube aesthetic (old skool steel)
It does sound like a fun ride as well which is helping my opinion

I have to admit, I wasn’t sold on the look straight away & was edging towards the more tradition Banshee Phantom. Decided that the Banshee (along with being almost impossible to demo) was a tougher bike than I needed (Trans Smuggler is 1x only, so was never an option)
The chalet is in the Wyre, yes Renton, did you never visit it when you lived in Droitwich?
Grass is patchy due to new dog.. not that it was every perfect, and yeah the green house has become a bit of a mess (only becuase the garage is full of my bike crap), no tomato plants on the go this year.
Dropper will be ordered, but I’ve never had one previously, so wanted to get used to the bike “as is” before going for it.
1×11 may well be on the cards, once XT comes out, as I’m not paying stupid money for a SRAM cassette (yes I could have afforded it)
