OMG it's 1065! Just the size I was looking for too :(

[Elan]

damn. everything is looking pretty dece... is that fork having a one piece steerer?

[tomaxp]

sorry i dont understand "one piece steerer" ? ..... :(

[Chris]

I actually expected a little more. Pretty boring/simple design if you ask me

[Elan]

sorry i dont understand "one piece steerer" ? ..... :(
i mean that the steerer, from the top to where the legs are welded, is all once piece, and doesnt have an insert. from the other topic on this fork, you can see that the BT has an insert. forks ALWAYS break AROUND the insert, right above or at the bottom headset race. this is a horrible design, the anticipations of the designers are off base . if someone were to make a fork with a steerer that is one piece that tapered from 8mm at the bottom to Xmm at the top, that might actaully be a really strong fork. But the thing is, the bonding material is really crappy, and this cheap method of making a "strong" fork produces horrible results.

[Elan]

oh yeah, full GEO?

[bmorekirby]

completely badass! when will they be available??

[RomanC]

end of May they will be finished. Then give a few weeks for them to get shipped to the distributors

[uownme]

Is it actually going to be 1065 with the 415 fork? Or turn out to be ~1080 like the levelboss.

[RomanC]

It should turn out 1065 with that fork. It might not be exactly on the dial but it won't be 1080.

[drambambeis]

What about the pricesssssssssssssss ?

[CoppellStereo]

my 5.0 right now with my fork is about 1095 :wiggle:

[tomacropod]

hydro cable guides - good. Very good. I'll be drilling mine out when I remember. Another problem with the 5.0 was that the final brake cable guide was too far under the top tube for the cable to come around for the noodle cleanly and smoothly. Has this been repositioned?

[tomaxp]

[Rence]

omg...i juz pee on my pants...sweeet!!

[toyota200x]

Rad looking bike. I would definatly get one.

[Elan]

that BT shit is reaching koxx prices....

[bwagner]

The 6.0 is $530.00 U.S. The Levelboss is like $650.00 right? It's still cheaper than most, and most likely better too. My Raven 5.0 is holding up well, and I weigh as much as two average riders:)

[Elan]

i never said anything bad about their quality...

[bwagner]

I know that. I wasn't trying to start anything, just posting the U.S. price for those who might be interested

[knf]

Really NICE FRAME!!!

[DanBowhers]

id hit the long version

[RD_dAnKs]

ohhh very nice the frame is realyyy gooddddd.....

[chronic]

That is sexy...I am never buying an older model bike again, as when all the new shit comes out...I feel like an ass.

[Ross W.]
