Screw the tires, I'm just stoked to see he is out riding again!!!

I feel like that was an interesting troll job by SC if all that was for the new bike.

Dude, have you seen a pic of Shaun Palmer lately. He is 50 years old. Unless SC will be sponsored by 'Just for Men' there is no way that's him.

Palmer!

I vaguely recall ValI Holl signing for 10 years or something with YT ages ago, or is that somebody else?

Do we know what's happening with Gaetan Vige yet or not?

She's a MX5 owner and huge fan. That's why.

Already been mentioned. Still on Transition. They made her a special Mazda sticker because she loves her Mazda so much!

There are already a few, they are called Pivot and Ibis.

I think the bike in the Piers Linney video is the "stock" Robot Bike Co R160 with a Fox 49 bolted on. You can see from the tyre that the rear wheel is a 27.5 and the lug joining the top/seat tubes says "R160". I don't think they're giving any secrets away yet. Really cool project and I hope it goes well for them.

Edit: Total Atherton (Robot) Bikes team disruption of manufacturing a bike. Atherton's certainly putting their necks out on a new bike brand with a completely different process. Either way, stoked to see how the bikes turn out and how big the brand can grow. And doubly stoked to see how fast they can make them go at the World Cups.

As I mentioned a couple of days ago Mille has commented on IG that she will continue with the Athertons. Not known whether still on the Academy or full factory.

Is Millie confirmed to still be on their team? I saw it somewhere on this unwieldy thread but can't be bothered digging through all the crap to find it. Pretty fucking awesome of the Atherton's IMHO. So much risk, but such a cool direction to go for them with what looks like a genuine disruption of the industry. Agruably the most combined sharp end WC knowledge from a male/female perspective coming from Gee and Rach. And Gee is straight up the gnarliest racer out there, been around for so long, crashed so hard so many times, and as shown at...

Too much? Doesn’t seem like you’re thinking about it at all, The Athertons have gone out to a prolific bike designer/inventor, a major investor and a manufacturer and managed to put something together in a few months... that’s not the sort of thing that happens off the cuff. This is a very well considered model and I wish them the best of luck.

same here

I'd say that's pretty unlikely when you look at what they bring to the party. Racing success, video edits (I'm really hoping Gee will continue doing WC course previews), Hardline, Fox Hunt and a bike park. I would think that's an appealing package for most companies. They've stated that this is the way they want to go. They've given a lot back to this sport and I wish them every success.
