Has Tahnee been sponsored by Ergon in the past? If not, it's likely a Canyon.
I think it's safe to say you are right -

http://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/pages/enduroteam

I understand the above link is the enduro team however, the support for DH and Enduro would likely be the same.. However that is their "race team"

Agreed , Canyons fork bumpers are tiny circles anyway wouldn't be seen from this photo , same with the lapierre - they are situated in the black area ( I ride a 2016 one)

You can see just enough of the seat tube area to see the place where the frame sepparates to make room for the shock

Sorry, correction- I don't see fork bumpers on the fork. There must be some on the frame then.

No you can't , are you smoking something? Much like your Athertons to Rocky mountain remark earlier lol.

You can also see the fork bumpers on the headtube as small triangles, wich would be the shape of lappeieres only sligthly further back.

If you think purely on top spec bike colour then lapierre or giant would be the ones though right?

Lapierre doesn't utilize the driveside of the bike for cable routing

Based purely on the cable routing/integrated bumper and split seat tube area, I'd say she's a Tr500. But on second look, i can't see the link in the split seat post. I remember seeing a Tr500 look-a-like bike not too long ago, but I can't remember who made it.

Well, it looks more like this for me (head tube)... And she's on Ergon since a while now. https://dhandalucia.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/evil_bikes_undead_a.jpg

The top circle.. that's an internal cable guide by the looks of things.


Lapierre run the cable through the front of the headtube...

As i stated on page 32 - Headtube looks like overdrive . Could be giant ? Agreed on the colours tho.

Shit, I forgot about evil :L

Definitely a significant head tube - cable guides and routing looks similar to that in the photo.

Evil team come back?

Not giant or evil, just at the edge of the censorship you can see a coil or two of the shock. Definitely runs horizontally in the bike and too far forward for the evil.

Evil don't make a 650b dh sled so doubt anyone would run their bikes for WC. Plus doesn't seem to have the distinct headtube shaping of the undead.
