WTF! Looks 90% stolen from Stanton. Even the name, paint and ohlins.

Just needs $5 wire on grips and it’s perfect.

They even called it a Switch! Would have gone well on April 1

An inspiring read! Well actually I found it poorly written and filled with wordy-words, but there was some key information in there about the type of riding this bike feels right for - poodle rides. I really should pull my shit
together. And sell the scout.

Phwoar! Go the 29er Poods.

When a mare sent it to me, I swear I thought he was winding me up with an elaborate prank.

Still with the horses? We get it, they are smart and shooting them from helicopters isn't a cool solution to a problem we created.

Beginning of the end for one of the great cabinet manufacturers of the world?

Nah, they've done various linkage bikes in the past, but if you read the article, they are committed to SP, but recognise that it has limitations in particular uses. I love it, I'd love to try one, but just gobsmacked how much it looks like they mimicked a Stanton switchback in name, linkage, colour and spec. $4k+ dearer than a Stanton with virtually identical spec, mind.

Are you saying @zaf is a horses arse? That tracks.

At least the Orange looks good though...

I agree. Sorry to burst your bubble

North shore grips aren't going to fix that.

If they add a zero to the price, you'll froth over it....

@moorey - you forgot about the erectile dysfunction saddle.

At 50yo, that's something I'm better off not touching....

Not really new bike exactly but the We Are One Arrival have introduced 2 new linkage options that can change the standard 157mm rear to either 130 or 170 travel.

We Are One Adds More Arrival Options, Previews New Rim Shape - Sea Otter 2022 - Pinkbike

Nice looking bike, no doubt the frame alone with our AUD mark up would be insanely expensive
