THATS PURRRRRRDY!

More info here in the post: http://ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ef989e042732e1f575223df91737e442&threadid=66215&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

Well, i wrote a  post but lost it all when the browser crashed!  [smiley=upset.gif], it was something like:

If you have been to Ridemonkey, Pinkbike and the like you know how critical they are of stuff that isnt strong & beefy, but this bike seems to break that mold ... literally. Its been ridden hard for sometime and seems to hold true to our carbon frames...just completely and totally on steroids! This one is built up at 38lbs but depending on components, you could get it heavier or ligher. In the post "ssaddict" is the owner, and "neversummersnow" seems to know alot, thats cause he was involved with the R&D. I talked to him a bit online and he conirmed that the frameset is about $2k and you pick the travel, geometry, and the price includes and evil chainguide, bb, hub, and a special CK headset ... not a bad deal all in all for a totally custom carbon dh bike. That post is funny cause lots of guys are scared of having a CF DH bike, but some interesting comments are made by the builders.

IM "neversummersnow" for more info, or the builder, Alex Morgan, has a site that should be working soon: http://bcdbcd.addr.com

Hmm, so If i start saving now, I can have the best of both world. Two of the hottest and best performing carbon bikes to ever be built and have them for totally different purposes! NICE!

enjoy fellas,
