Would does everyone think of Ethos Bicycles www.ethosbicycles.com Does Anyone out there own one or ridden one? Are they really bob free? And does anyone know the prices?

I did quite a bit of research on them because I am in love with them, especially the Australian heritage. The frames are split into a few models the one you would be looking at (I think) is the Free Radical 7, 7 inches of Rear shock (shock dependent) and when I was inquiring these frames were $2200 (ring them up and check the guy, Peter, is really helpful and fields any questions), without rear shock. However, this was with a custom geometry, sizing, color, etc. which, in my opinion, is awesome for the price!! He'll also get you a very good price on all parts if you build it up with them.
I've got a few photos of built up models, they are on paper I might be able to scan them on. There was a review on one in an AMB with John Wadell on the front (year ago?), the then editor Matt Holmes bought one and if you read the review he holds them in high regard.
Hope that helps if you got any more specific Questions send me a message

We used to sponsor a guy a few years back named Glenn Adams who rode one, actually still does.....Anyway he loves it, got it custom built to his angles and when I rode it it felt great. The closest thing I've ridden to it is my Keewee CromZone as far as zero bob and long cockpit.
