Perhaps the most accurate description of the business model. One can conclude that activity from the wrist motions easily.

UP website: and the fun part: Typically, these deals are with "HR" or insurance analytics companies. So apply to a job, get rejected automatically because of how and when you sleep. Not something I just made up: http://www.hrexaminer.com/reengineering-hr-five-threads-of-technology/ There are a lot of greedy idiots out there, who will do anything for money or more control over other people.

Not cramped and trials emphasis: Used Zoot DD or newish Zoot, upgrade disk brakes, try out different stems, grips, pedals. Lighter handlebars and fork later. If you are not fat or very clumsy, this is a good alternative.

Used frames + saw + caliper (+ brain + FEA workstation for figuring out reasons of design choices) is the way to go. For a frame with competitive weight, strength and cost properties, assume 2000-3000 hours to bring a limited run to Tarty, if you have an engineering background, but haven't done this before.

There are "capitalists" who act violently (search for Vajont, Melamine, Asbestos, Hartz or whatever, there are so many examples) not just in one situation, but because of their attitude towards life itself.

I have left Paypal for their shady terms of service.

No Sir, I wouldn't, he's way too thin for my tastes.

Lots of info & pictures on the GT proto frame in the related article: http://tribalzine.com/?Le-Wingman-Kenny-Belaey-au-micro

Easy for me:

If the Racing Line parts were made by the Pope himself and sold for $$$, and these were just $30, I'd understand this. But copying a chinese brake, with great attention to detail? Where do they want to produce it? Zimbabwe? Or is it just a rebrand, licensed by Racing Line (for what reasoning)? I am puzzled.

Just to clarify: It is not that the bottom bracket tube was moved sideways. They just extended it a lot on the left side for additional axle stiffness, because normally there is just a spacer on the axle for crank symmetry.

Maniacc Dblocks would approve this.

The lever is in so many ways similar or identical to the Racing Line levers, even in the milling surface finish and the branding looks, that I really think they went to Taipei, upgraded the CAD drawings in cooperation, to make the original Racing Line lever a little bit lighter, more comfortable and usable. Anyway, anyone want to guess / smartass about the purpose of the lower protrusion on the slaves?

This really looks like a RL cooperation..

Thanks for the tip. Usually I beat my freewheels into submission.

That is some info one wants to hear. Normally one would get something along the lines of "I am testing many prototype frame designs, which are frequently sent back to factory for analysis", translated into "They don't even last a month".

The question is how often do they get a new one...

Considering to buy one, if its weight is justified.l by its durability...

My crack is smoked as follows: Jack Carthy did a World Record side hop of 146,5 cm a few days ago in London, and it didn't look like he or anyone else of the present super elite riders could go much higher.

You are doing 52 after a few weeks practice and 3 years of basics as a child, that is just 5" below current world record. If you train for another year, Carthy and Hermance will have a new rival for sure.

This thing: Where did it snap?

Sick blue. Now complement this with Magura-yellow brakes...

Rigid, Conti Sport Contact, single speed with freewheel and two v-brakes, some trials spare parts for good measure is the better choice in my opinion.
