Mine attached....

Couldnt resist posting this pic, coming home last night as the sun was setting...

hey hey hey what is this? ... this is down-right discrimination!!! :p
just because of extra gussets and stiffer rear ends and the ability to take a larger tyre ... true ... some have a slightly bigger head ... set ...

on another note ... please refresh my memory ... :thumbsup: ... always nice to see pics ...

Thanks Whafe

I'm just back from 4 days riding in North Wales in the UK..
Over 130km covered and what a blast ! North Wales in the UK Rocks. There where a couple of time where I though I was back in the Alps !
Photos to follow but no real good jump shots.
Great to hear that you have had 4 days of riding, that would do me the world of good... Any photos are good photos.... Bring them on, start a thread of 130Km of trails covered....:thumbsup:

Do we have a FR in action thread?

Was at Woburn this weekend.. some big lines there these days....heres a vid
of us doing a gap.. no crashes but some sketchy front nose action



I was the guinea pig doing the first run but im #3 in this edit

The only crash we had during the day was one of the fellas pushing his bike back up one of the hills.. Lost his footing and fell 5 ft into a bramble bush.. effin hysterical!

One of those classic days where sessioning with friends is just so much fun!

A Question for Helius FR Owners . . .

Does the seat tube length ever bother you? It seems to be inordinately long (18.7" for a medium) on the Helius FR for its intended purpose. I think it might be hard to get behind the seat with that seat tube length. I really like the numbers on this frame with that exception. Chop a couple of inches off of the seat tube and I think it would be about perfect.

BTW, good looking bikes in this thread.

For a little extra cash Nicolai will do that for you. AFAIK shortening the seat tube (and removing the braces) costs much less than going full custom.
