Smooth and fast!

Any word on when that frame is going to hit the market? Would love to read an unbiased review.

Isn't this the guy behind teamrobot and trivialmtb? He should do ironic equipment tests on pinkbike.

DH trail, made for AM bike = ENDURO. Put your shades back into your full face. But bring an XC lid just in case....its going to get hot out there.

Well Done Charlie. I know you had good amount of time and elbow grease into this one. Congrats on making it legal. Always dig your humble and comical approach on riding/racing. Cheers.
