nobody called 1.25 to 1.5 headtubes a breakthrough, and they are a good idea if saving weight without compromising much strength is within your budget. |

its pricey, but really cool. id like to try that with a single rear cog on a jump bike, low gear for park, high gear for jumping etc... id like that. |

Its stupid to say bikes have no carbon footprint, they do, but what a car generates during production and over its life is no doubt like comparing pluto and the sun in size. Go ride a bike! |

ill second that, ive read much better pro-bike articles. that said at least people are catching on to bikes more and more. |

They dug in and found every last reason i think, kind of a lame read but it gets it all out there. The figures really are astounding if you look at them all, i ride everywhere because its fun, i know its the best way too and that just justifies it more i guess. more people are picking up on it too, which is good. |

I used to work in one of the biggest non-chain shops in the u.s. Trek's retail prices are jacked, so are many other big companies, but were talking a 4k cut for the shop on a 9k road bike, if not more. |

Sorry, but TREK was founded by a bank as a money-maker. Support Rider owned Companies, not Big Corporations. And i seriously dont buy that they ride any better than other high end bikes. Suspension designs are very personal prefrence too, everyone has different opinions. Trek has a ridiculous "we are the best" mentality, they have finally stepped up their game to compete with the real bike companies, but never forget the diesel, or their horrible bmx bikes before mirraco. At any rate, i will never ever buy a trek. |

glad to see the eupopeans out in force, so much talent over there! i was getting a bit sick of the same few people winning everything, i like how nissan has different events each event, ya know? good stuff. |

I used to live in chicago, and we'd spend many hours loooking for solid spots to build on, and countless more building. usually a few weeks and wed go out to find all of our takeoffs and landings converted to paintball bunkers and broken glass everywhere. |

no, its some older guy trying to do just that, and he missed the mark really hard, it looks like shit youd buy at walmart $5 a shirt, oops. There are a few companies who do make an effort to have solid clothing lines behind their bike stuff, check out the shadow conspiracy for instance. Then there are companies who try to emulate that success but in the mtb industry like deity and these guys and just look foolish. |

Rule #1, if your going to start a company, selling anything, don't half ass and expect people to not notice. Sweat the details ladies and gentlemen. Note to "evomo" hire real artists and designers, and go back to the drawing board on everything, your grounded from skulls and any other played out vectors you bought. i hate to hate, but your stuff is really really weak. |

I absolutely hate deity components. Ugly, overpriced, everyone thinks they are the shit for no reason at all... like hummer h2s. Just awful. However i love that purple, and its really close to the purple i see other companies using, 3 cheers for colorful bikes! If you want to follow bad trends just run deity parts, run to long of a fork, and then to worsen it run 3" riser bars no less than 30" wide, then make your cables to damn long and use 8000 cable ties. Perfect! |

the way the carbon is braided its 7-8 times stronger than steel, and still as light as a carbon bike. yours for $7000 haha |

I was there manning the blaq booth, it was nice to see ross and taj throwing down on big bikes for sure. I feel like the initial nastiness i sensed between 20" riders and mtb riders is fading fast, as ive picked up a bmx and many bmx riders have tried big bikes, both have virtues... It was quite the show at rays though, its awesome watching the really talented folks ride the place and uncover all the possibilities i fail to miss riding there almost weekly... |

Looks like a walmart bike, no way around it, just not nice to look at at all, furthermore for a street / jump bike a low bb is truly a hinderence. I understand its aimed to be a low priced bike for groms, but it could have been allot better looking, and had better geometry. End of story. |

Meh, nothing special going on in that vid... Been riding park / street / dirt for 3 years and i can do all of that and way more... im guessing you have more than that you working on ya? |
