2/17/2024 10:47am How did the Team Rumors Thread take a hit, when it was mentioned HERE, that he is going to ride for a company that is named after a place in the USA??? This is actually boosting the Team Rumors street cred! It's not like somebody wrote that in a Pinkbike comment section, where everybody seems to be busy being the...

2/13/2024 3:21pm How did he take somebody else's idea with 29-ers? He literally is the guy who pushed this thing, went all in with his brand before it was cool and had to see it all slip away and then catch on later, when his name became only an afterthought as a ”signature line” on Trek. Give the man some credit and...

2/12/2024 11:20pm I don't want to roam offtopic here, but regarding your paragraph with DW: I have never owned or ridden a bike with DW suspension (although I am sure they are excellent), but those are my feelings regarding VPP. Except the various Santa Cruz bikes I have ridden, I also had/have two Intenses with VPP that I absolutely love. One of...

Yes it was, I don't believe Alex/BCD ever worked for a mainstream brand and was mostly just making bikes for himself and trying out a bunch of concepts I can't really think of too many people that haven't already been mentioned. DW was a big one for me - the original DW bikes were really the first frames that could blend good bump performance and grip but still feel lively/pedal well. He really brought a much better understanding of kinematics that wasn't present in the mainstream before that. Slightly related (and controversial?) is Charlie Curnutt and Foes - the stable...

Cortina Cycles was one of the first 8" travel DH frames I believe. Can't find a pic of the earlier ones. I have a few later proto's of the next model hanging in the garage..

2/12/2024 9:29am I checked it out last night, after reading what you said. It is interesting, but it looks like e CX bike with flat bar. But a very good insight, don't get me wrong. Thanks! Mx

I recall reading/hearing once that guys like Tom Ritchey and Keith Bontrager were welding two road rims together then sewing cross tires together for fattties. couldn’t find the source on that though if my life depended on it. …and here we are complaining about carbon vs aluminum rims and if a DHR is better than a Kryptotal

2/11/2024 3:02pm I don't know of a 29er in the 80's (I am wondering who made the tires), but I have one of those Fisher frames with a proprietary press-fit BB and the 1.1/4” head tube. It is interesting how Klein made something similar on the Attitude and the Adroit around the same time and both Fisher and Klein ended up under...

Gary Fisher were doing 29ers back in about 2002! Marzocchi made special forks for them. They were also the ones to push LONGER offsets on 29" forks which took about a decade to undo.....Still they were way ahead of their time

Joe graney at Santa Cruz did a ton of work on outlands’ vpp to make the packaging and functions top system before Dave pretty much hacked that patent. Joe also pioneered sending bikes and prototype linkage sets to “locals” all over major market zones for real world testing before cell phones could even take good pictures. He was aligning the function of Vpp and its packaging with real world riders before a lot of brands even had teams.
