Stolen from pinkbike, tell me what you think. http://vpfree.pinkbike.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=137108
I was trying to read that thread but all I got was "bitch bitch bitch, moan moan moan". It was like some of the shit fights we have on here, only with good spelling and grammer.

Well that was a constructive and useful post wasn't it? And coming from you of all people.
Looks like "just another" gearbox bike to me. Nothing particularly new there.

Ok how about this one...
While it does look cool (imo much better looking than the honda and the lahar too an extent) doesn't seem to boast any benefits over the other gear box designs, other than most likely costing an extra grand or so.
The transmission is sealed for protection and therefore extremely low maintenance.
The second chain is optimally tensioned reducing wear and eliminating breakages and chain skippage, as well as making a noise free drive train.
It possesses a returned support of the absorber with broadly dimensioned bearings for maximum lateral stiffness and an absorber positioning protected against dirt.
1.5“a headtube for unusual guidance head rigidity and adjustable failing for a variable chain prop length with chain pre-loading rounds the newcomer off.
In order to receive an extremely torsionally stiff tail, we combined the whole with the Rear Maxle rear axle high-speed clamping system.
Kinetics with fantastic feather/spring characteristic developed perfectly: Over the entire bouncing range away the Hinterbausystem reacts extremely sensitively and protects perfectly against copies. Completely sealed industrial camps make the Hinterbau besides extremely sensitively and maintenance-poor.
The translation is pretty poor but you can get the idea.

It's a low single pivot,very low,lower than a Stab P. It would ride like shit,weigh more than it needs too,although if it's a Rohloff in a box it may be lighter then ome of the G-Box monsters,eww and that shocking shock angle,can you say ramp up,and it doesn't look as good as the Honda or Lahar at all,who gives a .... about looks anyway,this aint prom night.

I like the look of the frame, the swing arm looks very nice. For some reason the front section of the frame reminds me of an Ironhorse......:confused: Gearbox frames are all the rave at the moment....they are popping up everywhere!
