No Sir, I wouldn't, he's way too thin for my tastes.

Lots of info & pictures on the GT proto frame in the related article: http://tribalzine.com/?Le-Wingman-Kenny-Belaey-au-micro

Easy for me:

If the Racing Line parts were made by the Pope himself and sold for $$$, and these were just $30, I'd understand this. But copying a chinese brake, with great attention to detail? Where do they want to produce it? Zimbabwe? Or is it just a rebrand, licensed by Racing Line (for what reasoning)? I am puzzled.

Just to clarify: It is not that the bottom bracket tube was moved sideways. They just extended it a lot on the left side for additional axle stiffness, because normally there is just a spacer on the axle for crank symmetry.

Maniacc Dblocks would approve this.

The lever is in so many ways similar or identical to the Racing Line levers, even in the milling surface finish and the branding looks, that I really think they went to Taipei, upgraded the CAD drawings in cooperation, to make the original Racing Line lever a little bit lighter, more comfortable and usable. Anyway, anyone want to guess / smartass about the purpose of the lower protrusion on the slaves?

This really looks like a RL cooperation..

Thanks for the tip. Usually I beat my freewheels into submission.

That is some info one wants to hear. Normally one would get something along the lines of "I am testing many prototype frame designs, which are frequently sent back to factory for analysis", translated into "They don't even last a month".

The question is how often do they get a new one...

Considering to buy one, if its weight is justified.l by its durability...

My crack is smoked as follows: Jack Carthy did a World Record side hop of 146,5 cm a few days ago in London, and it didn't look like he or anyone else of the present super elite riders could go much higher.

You are doing 52 after a few weeks practice and 3 years of basics as a child, that is just 5" below current world record. If you train for another year, Carthy and Hermance will have a new rival for sure.

This thing: Where did it snap?

Sick blue. Now complement this with Magura-yellow brakes...

Rigid, Conti Sport Contact, single speed with freewheel and two v-brakes, some trials spare parts for good measure is the better choice in my opinion.

http://oregonmanifest.com/vote/ If one would build a bike with a selection of the ideas from the other contestants, a bike which would be practical not only in videos, but also in reality, could indeed be the result. Anyhow, they say that Fuji will build the contest winner.

I love this kind of extreme tech riding.

Proper video. Especially music/riding sync. And the drop into the slide was way out.

I hope the staff treated him appropriately.

Finally, all his efforts in trials riding paid off.

Colored like a nigerian transvestite, but I like that very much.

Ask Inspired, they know their clearances.
