In order to get the winning edge in DH races and 4X, my rig busts it out with the long wheelbase for stability at speed, a lower center of gravity, super aerodynamic position, and a dynamic posi-Quatron-magnesic-fractal-matrix-polycarbonate-phenylalanine monocoque frame, often mistaken for a lack of frame tubing. 8)
Handles the doubles and airtime super smooth. Watch for me at a road gap nearest you.

Hmmm... hard to please, eh? How about this bike then? It has about 10" of travel, I think...

Plus, the pimp factor is large on this rig. When you see this one on the trails, you step aside. 8)
that sure is a sexy piece of machinery...looks like its adaptable to some sort of ultralight aircraft, just stick on some wings, push them off a cliff and away they go :D

Damn. Any estimates on the price tag on that one?
Don't forget to factor in the Rohloff Speedhub gearbox (+$2000 for that alone) above the rear set of cranks.

Despite the heavy components all over that fat rig, the guys left out the Hussefuct crankset(s).

Farkin hell.
That looks cool.
Even with 2 people, they'd struggle to get it up anything resembling a hill. Imagine the balancing problems you'd have when you hit the rough stuff at speed :shock:

teeheehee i thought u mighta chucked that one up here squidlos
have a close looky at the chain comin up from the stoker's crankset - it runs up to a 14spd rohloff rear hub. from there, another chain runs Around The Hub Body Itself :O to a single ring on the rear hub.
this baby is running 3 chains.
in short....
MWUHAHAHAHA
and i want to try wheelying it :mrgreen:
mmm..nice bike/.
the tandem is actually pretty sick/

On an Ellsworth tandem too! Shame it didn't get a segment. Remember the original "New World Disorder" with Bobby Root on the Tandem nose-wheeling down the street, with an "inflatable Ingrid" on the back? Funny stuff!
don't know if this is the one, but the last i heard it'd cost you around 12 grand

btw one of the dh meets in europe somewhere there were a couple of fellas on a tandem and the second bloke was BLIND! how'd ya be?
peachy
