i bike shop is lookin like the best idea here

Damn SON! You should keep that thing built for the next 4x race, it would probably rip, and make santa cruz happy!

?????????????

juan that thing is PIMP!!! i think you should race some 4x on it

Soooooo nice!

Wow, the whole bike looks amazing. Some serious shredding needs to be done on this bike

Hey Juan, which Ontario rider do you think could really rip this bike and give it a good test run? Anyone on your UbikeTV team?

i'm not sure, however this is going to be one of three bikes that makes the test bikes fleat to be used to feature and test new components in a regular basis,

Nomad, V10, is the answer to your next question
but the thought of eventually sponsor pro rider on squemes like that is not a bad idea, i just need to break in to a bank first or waith for the site to keep growing, i can't really complaint for only one year existence though.

that bike looks sick, maybe better for trails and stuff than 4x it has a pretty big seat tube. but it looks like it could rip

it could work for both, if the fork was at a high setting then it would be a better tail bike, but with its low setting it would be great for 4X, although i think it should have a chain guide for 4X, just to keep it more alined, and stable

the seat tube is 16 inches, it will have a chainguide and the fork is 115-160 that's why it was chosen as a doitall bike cause it should be able to do street, jumping, 4x,trail, and even some dh,
i do have a question or too, considering all of that, a dj/dh bike usualy has a short stem but a trail or even a trials bike has a longer stem, so where do a settle for this one 50mm 70 or 80?
don't forget that is got to be able to clinb so a longer stem will help put wait over the front wheel
the other question is how wide the bars should be?
and last weight, where do i settle there lite and eficient or heavier but bomb proff?

Stem, bar and weight are all personal preference things in my opinion. I personally like a short stem, wide bars, and the build to be as light as possible for an AM/trail bike. That being said, 50mm Thomson X4 stem and some 27 or 28" EA 70 bars would be perfect... both light and strong.

There is part of me that likes the ­frame­ and part of me that doesn't. The ­frame­ looks well put together and awesome. I don't like it because the seat tube looks too long (generally the whole bike looks too big for my short, fat ass) for my liking as well as the lack of horizontal drop outs. Even if it had sliding vertical dropouts it would be cool. Again... just all personal preference

i think a thomson 4X amd EA70 would be great, for me i like the shorter bars, it just feels better for me because its eayser to move around because im so small, on my HT i have 25 or 24, but on my fully, i have 26 i like the fell of both for the sizes of the bikes.(personal preference.)

Bike weighes 29 pounds with front and rear brakes, and gears. When riding it though, it feels like it weighes 10 pounds!

I like a short stem on all my bikes and wide bars (30inchs baby!)

its all personal preference and trying out different things.

no problem man it fells bomb proff but i rode it with the deemax, the ­frame­ is as solid as it gets, and is just over 4, 1/2 pounds
