Firefox wouldn't bring it up, IE did.

Check it out.

Edit: Firefox does work, nevermind.

Sweetness!

Firefox worked for me, no problemo.

I wish I hadn't opened that website up :eekster: I've been eyeing off those Delirium frames for a long time now. Whenever I get the funds together (just dreaming at the moment, this time next year who knows) this will definitely be the frame I will want.

You're right. I think when I tried it with Firefox the site actually wasn't up. Then a few minutes later I tried with IE and it was up. Weird.

Noel,

Nice informative website. I see that it is mentioned that Knolly Bikes will be distributed to Australia by Ruckus Bikes. This is great news but... I have never heard of Ruckus Bikes, could you please shed some light on Ruckus Bikes if you have a chance.

Thanks!

Also, maybe someone else can help... just curious how is the front derailleur attached to the main frame, looks awfully chunky in the area where one is placed.

One thing that seems not mentioned on the website is choice of colors for the frames or I am just missing it.

Thanks for the compliments on the site. This is just the beginning in terms of information :)

Re: Ruckus bikes: Can you tell me where you saw that on the site? It's probably left over from our developers who often have to make up text because someone takes toooo long to get it to them!

The V-tach and the Delirium T use E-type front derailleurs, either mounted by the derailleur's BB bracket or an E-13 DRS chain guide. The Endorphin and the Free Radical will use 31.8mm band clamp derailleurs.

Cheers!

Noel

Thanks! I actually noticed that my web development guys are already on it, so I'm sure that it will be gone by today.

Thanks!

We'll have the dealer section up in a week or two - just wanted to hold it back because a lot is going to be changing (i.e. increasing) after this upcoming week of course.

We should have Endorphin pictures up within the next couple of days as well, as we're shooting one of the prototype frames this morning.

Cheers,

Noel

Took a look around and like what I saw (except for those image transition), but I had to laugh though... "Metric" and "Standard" options in the geometry section? Shouldn't that be "Standard" and "English" (technically that should be "US Customary"). Or if it must be "Metric", how about "Metric" and "Midieval"?

Is the waiting list started yet? Put me on the list when you can. Looks like it will be an awesome bike.

Thanks

Nice site Noel!

Those Delerium T frames are hawt! I wish I had the skills (and nuts) to warrant getting one. The Endorphin would probably be the frame for me though. I just saw that the pics of the Endorphin are up. Interesting looking frame. I am interested to hear some ride reports on it. Will there be one built up for the Interbike crowd to test out? The bottom shock mount appears to have two bolts. Can you explain? Is the frame travel adjustable by mounting the shock differently? If so, how does this change the geometry of the frame? I know that you have advertised it as a "trail" bike, but what kind of abuse will it withstand?

Noel is probably cramming trying to get stuff finished for the show. They are hoping to have 2 Endorphin prototypes built up in time for demo days. The production frame will not have the adjustable lower shock mount. Definitely very strong looking frame, but the weight is very reasonable for how beefy its built.

Awesome site Noel!!:thumbsup:

It was well worth the wait! The level of quality is outstanding. Right up there with some of your competitors (who have waay more manpower to pour into web design). Wait a min...you don't have any competitors :D (at least not in engineering and quality).

One of things I really enjoyed about your new site is the level of detail you go into to describe the design, engineering and frame components. It's just excellent. Now people don't have to do a mtbr search to find out these details. It's one-stop-shopping for information.

Oh, and the x-large pictures...pure bike porn. It's nice to see a manufacturer whose not afraid to show the details.

Almost makes me want to own 2 V-tachs. If I can just get my wife to start freeriding....:idea:

Thanks for the info Noel. Sorry for jumping the gun on the dealer question. I'm currently building a website too and know how easy it is to accidently put information up that you don't want the public to see or is for a 'dummy' section, etc. Guess I just got all excited. Best of luck with interbike, now I've got to convince my better half and save some $$$.

It appears so, I tried yesterday and today and could not get on. I wonder what's up.

It is. I was looking because I wanted to show my wife the Endorphin, "look honey, here's the bike I want to get you." :D

As for me, I want a V-tach. :thumbsup:
