The first place we data logged the models you see in the photo's was gawton. They've only been to oxford woodland once or twice mabey? That was for a company ride and nothing more.

a company ride lol, you dont take a bike up there on numerous occasions with all the digital data on it to log the suspension system iv personally seen this bike being test riden up there many of times, on a flat hill  Wink

i agree with what 223 says its just taking to long for production of this bike to come out and personally dont think its gonna live up to the hype, this is just my opinion  Tongue

Is this bike not already 'in production' now though - there are adverts for it in Dirt...?

Or am I wrong?

They really should just sell them and get them out there!

yeah i actually really like the look of these, and any company using Steel gets a thumbs up from me Smiley

Would love to be able to Test one as the look as if they ride so well. Shame they don't get a WC team sorted, Then all the WC Fanbois would be queuing up to buy them Wink Cheesy

Not seen this before (I rarely buy bike mags) But I have to say I like:) Props to them for using steel too, lots of people think its what b8ike were made of in the 80's but i think it can be used to great success still:)

And its good to see a UK company bringing the goods!

As for testing on a 'flat' hill, any testing is good testing, the more data the better:) Could be used to test the pedalling characteristics or similar. I know if I designed and built a bike from scratch I would want to test under ever single condition to make it spot on before it hit the public:)

A square edged rock there is the same as a square edged rock on the WC circuit. Even if they are testing the suspension setup there they can still see how it rides and log it. I'm guessing they know a fair bit about testing bikes mate.

as far as i'm aware the bikes are now being made and its not just steel... its special steel that is also used in racing car chasis   Cheesy
andhaving ridden one myself, i have to admit they are insanely good bikes and if you don't agree then you deffinately havn't been near one  Wink
