Internal routing is stunning. Tubing running all the way through. Easy to install, no rattles.

Looks so good!
Getting more and more tempted by Revel, just slightly concerned that 165mm might be more squish than my crappy riding style really needs

I thought similar, as a race bike that will be used as a trail bike daily...but every review said how light it felt and how well it pedalled. I’m expecting it to come in around 1kg lighter that the Kona that had 153mm with same parts. Looking forward to seeing.

rascal is too close to the Django (which I'm enjoying too much to upgrade).
Rail would be my 'big' bike, but it could be too big (are we still doing phrasing?)

Received Felix’s frame and fork today. Absolutely gorgeous. Penguin was originally a compromise, and I’m not usually into black bikes, but it absolutely glows. Felix did most of the build. I hurriedly built up wheels with spokes from my wheels as my spoke order hasn’t arrived.
Should finish it in the morn, and get some nice pics, just in time for the rain to hit. Thanks a ton @russthedog and @Nerf Herder. Felix is beyond stoked. View attachment 367448

What kind of monster orients their bike facing the wrong way for a photo? You should be ashamed!

That’s one hell of a front brake cable.

It was. Sorted now. Leaving up the pic to annoy you.

I’m not annoyed at all, my bikes cables resemble bird nests (maybe why I love ss so much).

Long brake cable > white forks.

Wanted both on the DJ Rotec...didn’t have a spare long enough

Seems like its getting harder and harder to get frames and bikes at the moment!

We have stock!

YEP Components
ORBO Is happy to announce our latest addition to the family. YEP Components’ Uptimizer 3.0 is on the way ... and exclusive to ORBO for AU and NZ

We’ve been riding the Uptimizer for several months now and it was love at first drop. So silky and robust, you can just feel the precision.

What sets the Uptimizer apart is the cartridge. YEP focused on the seals to stop air migrating to the wrong side of the IFP. Full end user rebuildable - no more sealed units or ball inflators for the ghetto rebuilders. Then the final too in the chest. After several months or even years pass and air finally gets trapped. YEP has introduced an on bike bleed feature ... just remember to take the air out first lolololz ... see vid below. No gimmicks that just increases the frequency of trapped air. Uptimizer 3.0 is evolution, not revolution... just as we like it.

First shipment is in the air ... keep an eye out on www.offroadbikesonline.com.au

Any news on what the pricing will be?

Any news on what the pricing will be?

Depends on shipping cost ... but will be mid to high $700s
COVID is still inflating shipping costs, but hoping not as painful as we think.
Should be better than parallel importing yourself.

Presuming those WOWs are not the most positive of WOWs. @slowmick, @blacksp20

ORBO is also happy to annouce we will be working exclusively with EXAFORM droppers for the more budget conscious amongst us

I'm thinking this might be interesting to marathon/24 hour hardtail riders. Similar philosophy to my Trek's springy seat tube.

Do you have more info? Their website is a bit light on in that regard
