Weagle is some sort of genius. How many completely different suspension designs has he managed to sell to bike companies? Yeah, I know they all seem to work well and they all have their own fanboys, but all his different designs, as well as other designs that work just as well, kinda makes me think just tinkering around current suspension concepts with a bit of trial and error can deliver something that works well yet is just different enough that it can be licensed. And I'm sure there are more than a few dentists reaching for their wallets right now without even knowing what the product is yet.

I'm keeping an eye on this. My old DW link 2006 Iron Horse Azure is still on one of the best pedaling bikes I've ever ridden.

Maybe they could create a modern geometry trail bike and call it "Sultan."
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

There's $$$ graffitied on the plywood behind them, if that's any indication.

There is a pic in this thread:

I'm surprised they didn't do a 25mm new hub standard, like an old Maverick. (Which was 24mm...this would be one more mm!)

Their business model appeals to me (kinda like GG), but I'd like to try one in 29". If it matters to anyone, I asked the folks at Esker and was told the 29" version should be out mid-next year. Also, they were super responsive and answered e-mails within a day or two.

A bike is something to hang components on. These days, most “frame” companies are making completely solid high functioning rigs. You want a nice bike? Get a frame and put nice stuff on it.
