I’d be too afraid to ride it and scratch it, or wear out those grips.

Thx, i ordered it on the end of november, received it beginning of february. Total costs where around 700 euro's including shipment. I chose the 4130, because they didn't have Reynolds 725 anymore and the Reynolds 520 is the same as 4130. Weight is also pretty reasonable. The build quality is really good, the paint is good, but it could be a bit neater at the more hidden spots of the frame. You get a extra rear axle and hanger at no cost.

Looking forward to the results! I've got a Telum on my new Madonna I've built up over the winter, but haven't been able to ride it yet.

2/26/2025 4:36pm Can I ask why you feel that way? My damn AM30s have been bullet proof. I broke some spokes and they slapped a whole new rim on it and relaced it for free. Got back to me in 5 days too. Everyone there has been super good towards me.

Man, these CNC bikes are popping up everywhere it seems. Looks like you could potentially adjust the head angle or maybe numbers reach on this thing? Maybe even change the chain stay length? Super dope 1 of 1 bike though man!

I think the fork is the right next step! I had their shock as well and it was good... but definitely not up their with their forks performance. I've settled with an Intend fork up front and a EXT Storia V3 rear and its been awesome.

there are not many forks out there that are this good, of course nothing mainstream can compete (RS, Fox, DVO, etc).. i have couple of USDs from Intend and dont believe in stories of horrible flex etc carried forward from decades ago.. the chassis is the best out there, simple damper that just works.. You actually can fell pure spring and damping, no binding and friction (that one gets used to in conventional forks).. you may see some more pronounced flex on ultra high speed berms, but nothing that compromises the experience.. this is a beautiful bike , even more...

I've got one of their regular side up forks, the Ebonite Bandit, and its been pretty great so far. Its probably the smoothest/plushest fork I've ever ran, so I can only imagine how smooth and easy it is to squish one of those USD bad boys. I also love how easy it is to open up an work on. Though I know the internals have changed a good bit since mine came out. Only issue I've had is it seems to bottom out a little easier than my other forks. I've messed with the settings, air pressure, and bottom out...

Before I started making bikes, I had a variety of different designs, but had always preferred single pivots. They just felt more lively and engaging to ride. And even thought I was doing a bit of racing, I felt this was most important. It's never the bike that is slowing me down, so a bike that I felt most confident on was always going to make me the fastest. I think I nailed geometry pretty early on via quite a bit of testing of different variations. But pretty much for the whole of Starling's time, geometry has remained unchanged. We've...

pretty sure thats the future of DH, sic rig! The only issue is the cost that I see, but that will get sorted as the platform gets more adopted. I am sick of replacing over priced cassettes (even a 7 speed DH cassette is priced like jewelry , replacing chains when they are .0000001 out of spec and cleaning my chain every ride. I am over geared drivetrains. The weight centered around the bottom less unsprung weight at the wheel..the benefits are endless for the belt and gear box.

Solid, thanks for the response! I love me some coil too, just wasn't sure if it was worth it on a short travel rig but I think I'll give it a go.
