inners and cwmcarn so far, silly fast 🙂

obviously needed for trail centers……….. 🙄

me likey

obviously needed for trail centers……….

Yes, because there's loads of uplift served DH trails in the wild

Looks shite mate, I am totally not jealous and I bet it rides dog slow!!!!!!!!!!

A ma zing!

I like that proper DH bikes on DH trails are ace 🙂

Did you take it down the final descent of the red at CwnCarn instead of heading over the roadgap, I know it's normally about the gnarr and the jumps but that final piece of red is stupid quick on a DH bike did it on my 224 and it was just brilliant, worth it for one or two uplift runs.

Inners and the carn have downhill courses ton

Not sure what your on about there both centres have an uplift for DH days so what is wrong with a DH bike on a DH day?

How much?

rd, i know………….
i am sure dasnut knows i am playing……….for which i apologise…. 8)

very nice bike mate.

parts off my nomad, and accomodating lbs (can you see the crosstrax sticker in that shot?), so not as expensive as you would expect.

and jones from DIRT was testing the same bike (and the mondraker summun) on the day we were at cwmcarn – so top tips a go-go 🙂

gonna get myself in trouble on this one 😉

get some wrist guards………. 😉

That is a beaut! Jealous…

bionic wrists now ton, so not a problem

how are your rear wheels? standing upto the pressure?

That is schweet! But are those ergo grips?!

yes they are ergon grips – you have a problem with that?

my lbs has one of these built up in the white frame colour. this pic does not do it justice, its is an amazing lookin bike in the flesh. You are a lucky man and i bet it goes like sh*t off a teflon coated shovel!!!!

dasnut I've been trying the ergon's on a couple of bikes I like them, got a set on my DH bike too.

Bars look a bit wide for me. And maybe stick a 120 stem on there.

you're not wrong crag, I have had too shave a full 10mm off each end of the bars, only 765mm now (30" imperial fans)

hhmmm… I like that.

Pedals let it down a bit as well. A bit more effort needed I reckon.

yer and the cranks are a bit long, if I am honest. Right I'm scrapping the lot and starting again

aaahhh nice. very envious.

she's a looker!!!

not bad, and with a few alterations you could probably get it down to about 21-22 lbs??, then you'd really fly 😉

That's flipping sex.

And I hate DH.

Love it, love those frames and the white and yellow goes really well. Bastard!

Very nice,im looking at buying my first DH bike since i have been doing quite a bit on my Alpine 160 recently,this frame is at the top of my list. Keep us updated with how it rides etc once you have a little more time on it.

yeah its a confidence builder – did both the big drops on matador (7 and 8 foot) at inners on it, first run down 🙂

(first run down matador that is, not first run of the day)

then did them again, just to make sure it wasn't fluke…

that is too nice
i want one!

if only there were more uplifts in this country

infact if only there were more mountains with chairlifts open all summer
and ideally near london!!!!

I am moving to Geneva in 3 weeks 🙂

+1 for that and amen – it is wicked fun, super drifty and light in cresting turns.

Noidea – I have a Nicolai Ion ST I am looking to pass onto a loving and caring home. I've had it about 16 months but it's been used only this year and maybe a dozen times in its life. I've just had a baby and can't see me riding DH for the foreseable future so would like it to get the use from someone else.

If you're interested get in touch: greg.turner@me.com and i can give you the spec and pics.

Sorry to hijack the thread – fab bike BTW Dasnut

Where do you pick up the red for the final descent – further down the road the drop is off? Heading down on Friday, will have to give it a go.

hey thread hijacking is cool with me

the red is up the road from the drop off – when you hit the road, go left.

you do miss the ski jump into the massive berm, the big table, the big hip, the wooden bridge drop, then the big double, but whatever floats your boat baby

Nice one cheers dude, never ridden that red section will give it a try on one run.

And I completely forgot to say – very nice bike!

8) looks real nice 8)
